KING VICTORIOUS is still without a win, but he has continued to knock on the door, placing on his last three starts, including when second here back in November. If this longer trip brings about improvement, then I’m confident he will be bang in the mix at the business end.

Tips: KING VICTORIOUS

It’s hard to see past SOVEREIGN WEALTH, who should be able to get off the mark. He has made the places in six of his seven starts, including when runner-up on his last three and won’t get many better opportunities to succeed. I’ll be surprised if he can’t justify favouritism.

Tips: SOVEREIGN WEALTH

14.15 Make The Move To Midnite Classified Stakes

It could be a very good day for Pat Cosgrave, who has a chance of bagging another winner, this time on SECRET ROAD. James Owen’s charge bounced back to form when an extremely unlucky second at Southwell two days ago and can comfortably make amends.

Tips: SECRET ROAD

OLDBURY LAD has yet to register a first success but he’s dangerously well handicapped in a mediocre event, particularly based on his turf form earlier this year (placed twice off higher figures). I can see him running a big race after four-months off with the drop in trip holding no fears.

Tips: OLDBURY LAD

I’m really strong on the claims of AUGUSTUS GLOOP, who has displayed race-by-race progression and was a really good winner when last seen at Newcastle. A mark of 82 on handicap debut seems lenient, so he’s strongly fancied to continue his rise up the ranks.

DIAMONDONTHEHILL could be the answer to this event. He finished fourth over track and trip last time out and is now operating below his last winning mark. Dropped in grade from a good draw in stall 3, I’m hopeful Saffie Osborne can guide him to success.
