Trivia, Daniel Thomas and Anthill are all shortlisted in this handicap and the vote is given to Daniel Thomas. The selection ran well after an absence when a good second behind Tinnarinka at Lingfield last time. He should come on plenty for that outing and he looks to have a solid chance. Trivia is on a fair enough mark at present and she ran a sound race at Lingfield last time. She looks to be hitting form but she has the worst of the draw which will not aid her cause. Anthill in contrast has the best of the draw and although she was a little disappointing last time, she had run well here previously and a reproduction of that effort would certainly see her competitive tonight. Oat Cuisine hails from a yard in form and she has a good draw so she could prove best of the others, but for the winner we will stick with Daniel Thomas.
