Strike Red has been raised 6lb for winning at Hamilton, though he scored with a bit in hand, while Mohareb returned to winning ways at Lingfield and should go well again. Irish Acclaim debuts for a new yard having finished second in a claimer at Dundalk but Royal Musketeer won his only previous start on the all-weather and Cash Machine makes his handicap debut with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause. PAPA STOUR went close at Chelmsford when competing over 6f for the first time since his two-year-old days. There could be more to come from Stuart Williams’ charge over today’s trip so he gets the vote.
