I know I have already posted about Red Cymbal on other thread, but I am drawn more and more towards Smokey Lane in this. Hasn’t won since May 2017, but a winner at up to class 2 on turf, he does look very well handicapped on old form. Having his 2nd start since joining Sam Thomas, finished only half a length behind Kodiline at Chelmsford last time, but is 7 lbs better off today. Also was very weak in betting last time (12/1 out to 33s) but is price is holding better today. Jockey booking also catches the eye as Morris has never ridden for the trainer before. Small bet for me at 9/1.
Small bet on K Club in this. Only 5th last time but that was in a conditions race where she was the lowest rated runner. Narrow win over c&d before that, 2 lbs rise for that not impossible to overcome as she is still unexposed on this surface. Moore’s record for Hannon isn’t great, but I have taken a small chance anyway.
Vanity Vanity was ridden by an apprentice last time, but had gone very close under today’s jockey the time before over a furlong shorter here, the front two from that race have won since. 1 lb higher than that but I think she should go close again. Small each way @ 7/1.
