Colinca's Lad has won three times over 1m2f this year and deserves another chance at this longer trip, while Fifty Cents may do better back at this track after running a shocker at Wolverhampton last Saturday. He finished well behind Royal Alcor on that occasion and the latter had earlier beaten Apache Kid into fourth at the same track when ART THIEF was runner-up. The former should do better with that run under his belt, but Mike Appleby's charge is preferred as he gets a 7lb claimer on board today and that may be enough to swing things his way.
