GOING: S(5)

A DAYS GRAZE CATERING RATINGS BAND 0 - 55 Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.82)  

Greylist is the likely leader at a keen tempo. THE BRILL BUILDING (2) has recently changed stables, and that can spark an improvement in the older geldings. The recent freshen-up would have done him no harm, and he has sound each-way claims, especially if the money comes for him. ISHOTTHEDEPUTY (5) is more known on the picnic circuit and has been racing well enough at that level. He will be peaking third up and is worth including in all combinations. GREYLIST (9) had to use up too much energy to find the front here last start after missing the kick. He is the likely leader here and could be hard to peg back. NORTHUMBRIA (1) has a good draw and is expected to improve sharply second up in a field like this. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Brill Building each-way.
