A moderate race in which Krasivi's Boy is taken to account for Abbeygate and Kentucky Bullet. Krasivi's Boy is perhaps better known over hurdles but the handicapper clearly doesn't think much of him as a flat perfomer and connections are seizing the chance to run on the level at a modest grade. Abbeygate didn't do a lot wrong at Kempton last week. Tom Keddy is a fine placer of horses and a good run can be anticipated here. Kentucky Bullet is no great shakes but runs well around this track and has to be respected. Padre Nostro goes well for his apprentice rider and has place claims in a race that lacks depth. Louve Heureuse hails from a stable that are bang in form and any market move should be heeded. A race that won't live long in the memory and Krasivi's Boy is recommended to the most minimal of stakes.
