A sparkling chance here, consistent performer. Watch out for him sneaking up!

Tough gelding, looking slick. Keep an eye, it's got strategy written all over.

Track specialist. On familiar turf, this boy runs like he owns the place.

Race preview
TOMMIE BEAU (1) bounced back from a Plumpton miss when scoring tackling 5800m at Fakenham and holds leading claims in view of that effort. MY BOBBY DAZZLER (5) maintains solid form having won at Hereford before finishing second attempting 5100m at Haydock Park beaten 1.75L. Could be prominent throughout and represents the main danger. IF NOT FOR DYLAN (2) improved from a Haydock Park miss when third contesting 4800m at Perth defeated 5.5L and stays in the mix. Makes appeal. STRATAGEM (4) was impressive at Sedgefield two back before a lesser Perth fourth and deserves another chance. Not discounted.
