A wide open affair gets proceedings underway. Minirina would be hard to beat on his second behind Little Malvern at Catterick a couple of runs ago. However the gelding from the Craig Smith yard was slightly disappointing over course and distance in a handicap last time out. Sea The World rates the main danger he is from a yard in top form and was fourth behind Park Star over course and distance last time out, a reproduction of that form would see him go close. Arabian Knight also has placed form on the AW but that was in selling races and this looks a much more competitive affair. Well Red would also be worthy of consideration on this best form. However he has finished no better than mid-division on all his starts on the AW. Nickel Sun girl showed improved form when third behind Percy Douglas at Wolverhampton last time out, if she acts as well on this surface she has definite place claims. The remainder need to improve on there latest form to take a hand in the finish.
