Small John, Hinton Admiral and George Benjamin will need to break quickly from wide draws if they're to take up their usual prominent positions. Captain Macarry is another who likes to race up with the pace but has been done no favours by the draw and SALEROSA can take advantage. She's shown improved form in a couple of decent handicaps at Southwell of late but has won three times on turf and should get the race run to suit today. Ezra Church and Mozayada make most appeal of the remainder.
