Trappy stuff and METAL GURU is tentatively offered a chance at the principal expense of Windjammer and Back In The Red. This race has been made all the difficult by the allocation of high draws to a number of the fancied runners. Metal Guru has a respectable enough draw this afternoon and if she is able to reproduce anything like her recent second to Haajes she will take some beating. Windjammer has ability though is frustrating. She is unexposed on the artificial tracks. Back In The Red has plenty of early pace but he'll need it in spades from a car park draw. Pride Of Northcare won a maiden at Lingfield but failed to help himself at Redcar with a poor start. Triskaidekaphobia returns from absence. Fabuleux Cherie has dropped down the ratings considerably of late. Just Joey makes a first start on the surface.
