Hurricane Coast can land the seller, with Travelling Times and Speedfit Free possibly the ones to chase him home. The selection, already a course winner over seven furlongs, has remained consistent in four runs since that win and, drawn well in stall one, looks worthy of the nomination. A repeat of Fishers Dream's second at Wolverhampton three runs ago should see him competitive while Lay Down Sally also has pieces of form at this type of level. Admittedly, a similar comment applies to Valuable Gift, course winner Travelling Times, and course and distance winner Speedfit Free. Not a strong race, as you would expect for a seller, but interesting nonetheless, and Hurricane Coast is taken to score on what could have been a good day for trainer Paul Blockley.
