Verdict

Nothing is ruled out in this, though Wild Side looked in the handicapper’s grip last time. No Nay Nicki is tried in cheekpieces but Origintrail is upped in trip, as is Silent Words. Alethiometer and Wind In Your Sails are previous course winners but the latter has been racing over a mile and further and may not have been done any favours by an inside draw. Cori Glory comfortably saw off ZAPPHIRE at Beverley in June but Julie Camacho’s filly left that form well behind when making a winning start in handicaps at Haydock and Ryan Sexton takes off 3lb again.
