Forecasts

Power Link (11/8), Raydiance (2/1), Captain Jameson (5/1), Six Strings (10/1), Call Out Loud (12/1)

Verdict

Only the disappointing Call Out Loud has previous experience of racing on Fibresand at Southwell but he's difficult to fancy alongside his stablemate Six Strings. The progressive horse in the line-up is undoubtedly Power Link, and it's possibly a foolish approach to take him on in a winnable contest. However, at the projected odds there's more value in chancing the Karl Burke-trained RAYDIANCE who appeals as the type to take to this surface (twice a soft ground winner as a juvenile). His experiences of artificial surfaces are admittedly limited, but he's shown ability in filling the frame in Class 2 7f handicaps at Newcastle (behind Mubhij and Above The Rest).
  1. Raydiance
  2. Power Link
  3. Captain Jameson
