Race 4: SCORATES (2)
Jockey: A MARCUS - Trainer: S HUMBY
The fast-improving SOCRATES was desperately unlucky not to complete his hat-trick of victories on the polytrack last time but he will strip fitter and can certainly make amends here. The Horse Chestnut colt began his career with promise on this course and he has much scope for improvement.
Race 6: LEGEND (5)
Jockey: M YENI - Trainer: D HOWELLS
LEGEND should have gone much closer but for some interference in his latest effort on the polytrack and he can make amends here. The five-year-old will enjoy the likely stronger gallop and he holds a decent track record
Race 7: GRECIAN LAUREL (9)
Jockey: M YENI - Trainer: D HOWELLS
The well-bred and promising GRECIAN LAUREL should improve on her tad disappointing handicap debut run over shorter last month. The three-year-old daughter of Ideal World would have benefitted from that first experience around the turn and she is bred to love the step-up to the mile.
Race 8: JET STREAM (12)
Jockey: M YENI - Trainer: D HOWELLS
JET STREAM benefitted from his debut experience as he made natural progress to stay on for 3rd over this trip from a poor draw at Greyville second time out. He has just three parts of a length to find on the exposed five-year-old LORD OF GLENCOE and has obvious room for much improvement.
VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:
Race 5: CAT'S LEGACY (5)
Jockey: A MARCUS - Trainer: A WRIGHT
CAT'S LEGACY should build on his promising comeback run over shorter and though his pedigree doesn't convince he will handle this step-up in distance, the manner in which he finished his penultimate run on this course over 1950m suggests that he could enjoy the test of stamina. It is most encouraging that top rider Marcus has been engaged and there is the likelihood of a sedate tempo in this small field
