RACE TWO
SCOTCH EN ICE (8) was returning from a spell without a public trial last time out when sent forward in the early stages before the moves came and he was soon back in the pack as IL MAXIMUS scooted clear to score. Fitter for the run, he can trial through to settle handy enough to capitalise.
CHANCELESS CENTURY (5) has hit the board at his past 4 in succession, the latest when starting a red figure fav from gate 2. With no early speed, he was soon shuffled back in the running line before finishing off in nice order when 5m in arrears of the winner. Taking them all the way here 2 starts back, he can challenge here.
ALBION ARK (3) found his race last week when spearing out from gate 2, taking control and cruising home to an effortless victory. That was at 1780m and with the speed to lead, he gets a chance to improve his middle-distance figures which are not that appealing.
DEVOUGED (4) started from the 2nd line over this trip 2 starts back when owning the best close out speed to arrive for a narrow victory. Gate 5 was his undoing last start, and he is a podium player in this.
