Verdict

ATHENIAN SPIRIT signalled he is ready to strike when an excellent recent second here and can go one better off the same mark to thwart George Boughey's progressive Hardstyle. Both Shes Got The Blues and Chinchin hail from in-form yards and need considering too.

Trifecta

A wager picking the first, second and third horses in the exact order. A trifecta box means paying more to ensure the horses can finish in any order in the top three spots.

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.

Show Wager

Betting on a horse to finish in the first three spots, which pays out the same whether they win or run second or third.
