One To Win looks our one to win against Uig, Habanero and Scottish River Jeremy Noseda's colt confirmed the promise he showed on the all-weather to land a maiden at the track in June. Although there has not been time to assess how good that performance was, the fact that the front pair pulled well clear and Michael Jarvis, rates the second highly, suggests that there is plenty of reason to get stuck in here. Uig looks exposed but there was nothing wrong with his performance to beat Bojangles on soft ground at Chepstow. Repeat course scorer Habanero has to be respected on a course that always tends to favour those who know their way round here. Connections of Scottish River will be praying that there is no overnight rain. Love Angel is a long standing maiden but ran up to his form at Chester last time out and is in here off a light racing weight. One To Win is likely to be short but he does look a step ahead of the handicapper at tonight's terms and we shan't be opposing him.
