A solid tempo on the cards with Witching Hour taking charge. Looks a good race for WITCHING HOUR (2) to get off the mark. Has been runner-up last three, the latest here over a little further as favourite. Placed 4/5 so far and only try at course and distance. Hard to beat again. DRUMNADROCHIT (6) is a three-year-old filly by Rafeef out of Kelpie stepping out on debut for the Mike & Mathew De Kock stable. The barn have a great strike-rate with first starters. Leading rider engaged and expected to measure up. BLOOD OF EDEN (3) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, the latest beaten just a couple of lengths into fourth. At top now and among the main hopes. TAKING A RISK (4) showed ability in first campaign and returns here over the mile for the first time. Well placed with the claim and can run a bold race fresh.
