Sky Sports Racing Virgin 512 Handicap Stakes (Div I)

Book Of Life has shown real consistency in recent starts, finishing third last time out and a second three starts back, and he handles today's distance and going, all of which underpin his strong standing in the ratings; the risk is that he remains winless in his last six starts.

Mercurius Power has run over today's trip and going, and his latest second suggests a return to form after a mid-sequence dip, with draw three and a rating of 61 offering encouragement; the risk is that he remains winless in recent starts.

Hear The Drums bounced back to winning form last time out and, with experience of today's trip and going, conditions look to suit; the 27-day break should leave him fresh, and 131 lb is workable for a gelding who has shown he can win at this level.

Winless in his last four starts, Blairtum Night at least returns fit on 14 days' rest and has run over today's trip and going, though a career-best effort is needed from stall one carrying 131 lb off an official mark of 50.

Sassy Glory returns 25 days after a win three starts back, and her experience over today's trip and going gives her every chance under 130 lb from stall 10; the risk is that her two most recent efforts have disappointed.
