Solid pace with Colonel finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. GLORIOUS EXPERT (11) hasn't been far away in recent efforts, jumping favourite here last start and ending up 1.8L off the winner. The form out of that race has been solid and the cheekpieces are reapplied. Inching closer to a maiden win and looks well placed here on recent efforts. ORIENTAL SURPRISE (3) sat on the speed here last week and was only gunned down late, beaten 1.5L. James McDonald rides now replaces Purton and his only run at this track and trip three back was a narrow defeat. Can land the knockout blow. SKY SONG (2) finished 1.5L off the winner last time out over this course and distance in a strong return to form. Bowman remains in the saddle and he maps for a lovely run off the inside alley. Can make his presence felt once again. HAPPY HORSE (4) is better than he showed last time out and can bounce back to form.
