BLACK SALT has been threatening to exploit a slide down the weights and gets another chance having returned a losing favourite the last twice. He finished thereabouts on both occasions and it could be the turn of David Barron’s charge turn today. Carlovian won in testing going at Nottingham recently while Valley of Fire will take advantage of a tumble down the weights before long. Inexes posted one of his better efforts at Hamilton last time and Stewardess is back on a winning mark.
