Saluti beat Nibras Again by a neck at Nottingham and is penalised. The latter was due to run at Newmarket yesterday while Tantastic was engaged to run at yesterday‘s fixture here. Expert Opinion won a lower grade sprint at Chelmsford and is 8lb higher while Ripon third East Street Revue has yet to win on the all-weather but can race off a lower mark on this surface. But BALLYARE won twice on the Tapeta last year and having been beaten less than a length at Hamilton recently, Lucinda Russell’s charge gets the nod. Astrozone goes well here but hasn’t raced since October.
