Verdict

A low grade but intriguing handicap with a few that could take a step forward. Irish raider Six Silver Lane is a consistent sort and with the blinkers back on must be considered for a trainer who has done well here in the past. Strummer will probably flatter to deceive once more while a strong gallop would increase the chances of Stoneboat Bill who looks to be coming back to form. Visitant looks the type to pick up a handicap off whet looks to be a decent mark although the trip is a doubt but overall ARITHMETIC is the most interesting given how well he went at Beverley and he could well open his account here.
  1. Arithmetic
