This is a competitive handicap in which Texas Gold, Whitbarrow and Who's Winning are the principles and we will put forward Whitbarrow as the one they have to beat. The selection ran really well when last seen out when narrowly beaten by Matty Tun at Doncaster, and if he can reproduce that effort here he should take plenty of beating. Texas Gold rates the main danger as he is dropped in class after disappointing in a couple of Listed races, and if he runs up to form then he should go well. Who's Winning is another eased in grade here and he will not be inconvenienced by this drop in trip, and he might be capable of claiming some place money. Magic Glade hinted at a return to form last time so is one to note in the market, but for the winner we return to Whitbarrow.
