Verdict

Vroom improved on his win in a claimer here earlier in the month when third last week in a handicap. He’s been dropped a couple of pounds since so should go well again. Interlink is back over his winning distance having finished a close-up fourth over 5f here last week. Spice Mill ran well after a break at Chelmsford and is another for the short-list but stablemate Secret Clause has his first run since June, though has been placed on this surface. HARWOODS STAR is a course specialist and ran a cracker back here last week when finishing a place ahead of Vroom. Josh Bryan’s claim can help him confirm that form and he can go one better, though does have a wide draw to contend with. Dusty Blue has claims at the weights but her lack of Fibresand experience would be a concern.
