A win for One Master in the previous race would be a boost for the chances of handicap debutant Blazed, who wasn’t far behind the Haggas representative at Doncaster having finished second at Salisbury the time before. Ocean Temptress had been placed twice here before winning at Brighton and Lingfield, though let supporters down last time at Chelmsford. NORTH CREEK has only won on Polytrack so far but briefly threatened in a better race than this last time at Ascot and has been dropped 3lb since. Jim Crowley is an eye-catching booking for a yard that boasts a good strike-rate here.
