NESHUME (5) disappointed as favourite last time when fourth over 5½f at this track. Prior to that he had been in the money two races on end. Must respect the stable decision to remove the blinkers. Major player. VALIANT WINTER (7) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing one length from the winner in third over 5½f at this track (Synthetic). Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. SNEAKY SNEAKY (11) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track (Synthetic) over 5½f, beaten half a length. Tricky draw but should still be in the finish. GRAND MAGIC (10) is a well bred three-year-old colt making his first appearance at the races. By Girvin from Cara Sorella who has produced a winner at stakes level. Ready to run well despite an awkward stall.
