Four-time course winner DR RIO (1) is 1lb below his last winning mark. Low-key start to the season. More encouraging when fourth (beaten 1L) tackling 1m1/2f here last month. Good claims. INSPIRING SPEECHES (6) finished mid-division over 1m2f here a week ago. Yet to win in eighteen attempts. Posted two solid efforts since joining this yard. Worth considering. Fellow long-term maiden EDVARD GRIEG (8) ran creditably tackling this trip in a classified race at Brighton last start. Place claims at least. FOREST HAZE (9) cannot be ruled out if first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect.
