Verdict

VALLEY KING (5) Kevin Myers-trained 7YO who loves this venue. Was 3 back the fence and worked out at the right time into clear air to win impressively here last start. Top chance. MINESHAFT (10) Settled midfield and cruised into it nicely with a good turn of foot in the final stages to only miss out by half a length the previous start. Should go close again today SANTITA (3) Jumped a tad slow and settled back in the field but did make up good ground late last start. EIGHT PENCE (1) had to be steadied near the 2 ½f last run then came off heels in the straight to make up some ground. Should run well with a good draw. POWEROFPERSUASION (8) Was pushed out hard from the gate to lead the field then faded late in the home straight. Honest mare who is trained on-course.
