Verdict

DO YOUR PART (1) is knocking on the door of another victory, just missing over the 6f journey here last time out as the favourite. He now gets Bowman in the saddle replacing the apprentice and the rise to 7f is no issue. Has the speed to offset the sticky barrier and he can get the job done this time. CIRCUIT MARSHAL (4) makes his debut today for the Newnham stable with Jerry Chau in the saddle, sticking from his latest trial. The inside draw should see him in a good spot on settling and he's shown enough at the trials to suggest he can urn a forward race on debut. RAGING RAPIDS (3) has been given a couple of quiet trials since his latest effort here 35 days ago, just keeping him up to the mark. He draws the inside this time for Avdulla and the form out of this last start has been very strong. Looks to have found a very suitable race. DECISION LINK (9) gets Purton in the saddle now and is not to be discounted off a good run last time out.
