Forecasts

Coole Cody (11/4), Flashjack (3/1), Silva Eclipse (4/1), River Arrow (11/2), Shantung (11/2), Tea Time Fred (10/1)

Verdict

A tricky race which lacks a standout contender. Tea Time Fred found a Class 2 C&D handicap too competitive latest as a winning sequence came to an end, while Flashjack competes from a career high mark following a fair comeback third at Ayr. Nevertheless, it's perfectly feasible that either of those aforementioned horses can prevail given the fact that a winning mentality appears to be instilled in their DNA. However, at the projected odds a chance is taken on the Sue Smith-trained six-year-old SILVA ECLIPSE in the hope that he can snap a barren sequence for the West Yorkshire based handler.
