It's rare to see a meeting at this track attract so many entries and this opener looks very competitive for the grade. Nick The Silver's third here recently was an improved effort while the once-useful Teenando has fallen to a very attractive mark and Nathan Cook claims a further 10lb. Manoubi is usually thereabouts around here and Sycho Fred is capable of running a big race from near the foot of the weights. But we'll give the vote to Elliiott Cooper's winning pointer CLOONAWILLIN LADY, who was taking on superior opposition when last of four at Newcastle a month ago and should appreciate the better ground here.
