Runners Spotlight

1
Bucklow Hill
Favorite

Half-brother to a Group 3 winner; justified market support when overcoming inexperience to beat Silent Strike in a 6f Lingfield maiden five weeks ago; open to improvement and he looks a strong contender.

Jockey: Jason WatsonTrainer: Charles Hills
2
Nursia

Last of five in an Ayr novice last summer (6f, good) but he left that form well behind when a comfortable winner over C&D six weeks ago, picking up well once extricating himself from a tight spot against the far rail; the runner-up has won a handicap off a BHA mark of 69 since so the form has some substance; more to come.

Jockey: Kevin StottTrainer: Kevin Ryan
3
Silent Strike

Sent off the 11-10 favourite for his Lingfield debut (6f) five weeks ago and made a pleasing start, albeit put in his place by Bucklow Hill; unextended when winning a Kempton maiden 16 days ago (1-5f; made all); clearly has plenty of ability but no obvious reason he would turn the tables on his Lingfield conqueror.

Jockey: Callum RodriguezTrainer: Andrew Balding
4
Cotai Lights

Midfield finish in a 1m novice at Chelmsford on his debut in November; left that behind when easily winning a C&D novice 16 days later; the form of that win hasn't really been bolstered but he was far too strong for his rivals and he shouldn't be underestimated despite today's stiffer opposition.
