Verdict

TRIXSTER gets little respite from the handicapper but is due a change of luck and Charlie Price takes off a handy 3lb again. Reserve Tank ran his best race for a while at Chepstow at the start of the month and Stormy Flight remains unexposed over fences and was closing down the winner at Chepstow latest – he holds Premiumaccess on collateral form. All Dancer will have stamina to prove while Dock Road is 0-7 over fences, though has placed in two of his last three.
