STIRLING CASTLE (8) is unbeaten this campaign after two appearances, the latest win coming over 6f at Fort Erie. Strongly fancied last time and looks tough to beat again. HEAT MERCHANT (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1. 3 lengths from the winner in second over 7f at this track. Xarel Forde gets the best out of this seven-year-old gelding. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MANNIX (7) built on a nice second when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at this track with success as public elect over 7f at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 1. 3 lengths. Kirk Johnson scored on him last time and retains the mount. Likely to be in the finish again. FAST AND READY (4) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start over 7f at this track, beaten 1. 3 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Sure to be thereabouts.
