Verdict
It's hard to know what to make of Straight Away after his victory at Redcar as he travelled well for most of the way before eventually scrambling home. This is his handicap debut and he wouldn't need much more to land the spoils. Medici Moon won here last month but is now 8lb higher and Sunnua looks to have more of a chance after a comfortable victory at Nottingham. Samphire Coast is getting closer to winning again while Shearian, who completed a track and trip hat-trick at the beginning of the year, is slipping closer to his last winning mark. BOOTS AND SPURS has won nine times and his recent runs on Turf point to his obvious chance back on this surface as he's 13lb lower. With his regular partner on board, he's taken to land victory number 10.
