OSTEOPATHIC REMEDY, brought back in trip recently, can make that move pay dividends and take this competitive affair from Solar Spirit and Errigal Lad. Osteopathic Remedy ran well over a sharp six furlongs at Thirsk recently, denied a clear run at a crucial stage. He has slipped down the handicap after a winless run and this slightly stiffer track will suit at this trip. Solar Spirit has been the epitome of consistency recently, with two solid placed efforts on good company. He has been raised since finishing a close third last time however, and may be in the handicapper's grip. Errigal Lad finished last season with a fine win at Leicester and is only 5lbs higher here. However, the yard are having a very quiet spell, and it is perhaps expecting too much for him to beat race fit opponents. Osteopathic Remedy can score.
