Don McCain has his team in great form at the moment so his runner General Potter has to be respected but he needs to improve dramatically on all known form so looks best watched in a race taken to go to PINEWOOD LEGEND, who is preferred to Pearl. Alison Thorpe's mare had to work hard to land a handicap at Chepstow in heavy ground earlier this month and she has to be considered but a 9lb rise for that success may prevent her from following up. Satindra has been running creditably without troubling the judge and should be thereabouts again, while Martin Todhunter's Nevsky Bridge has disappointed since winning at Sedgefield last month. Emotive has more to do than when landing a selling handicap at Catterick last time and a better bet looks to be Pinewood Legend. Peter Niven's gelding was good value for his Ayr success last time and he is taken to defy the 9lb rise for that victory.
