Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Gift Of The Heart. CERRIDWYN (8) is a lightly raced mare who has plenty going for her today. She's built a handy record and has been freshened since her 3.3L defeat in March. She never got into the race that day, but with Damian Lane and gate 1 this time, she should be much handier. She ticks plenty of boxes. COUNT THE SESSIONS (4) rattled home first-up over 1200m and he's placed 4/6 second-up throughout his career. Craig Williams takes the ride from a handy draw. Returned on a good note a fortnight ago and he can build on that effort. HESKET (6) was too strong over this track and trip most recently, getting right back to his best when winning by 0.7L. Maps for a beautiful run once more and can put his best foot forward. KNOT SECRET (2) can bounce back after a disappointing effort last time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Cerridwyn.
