Forecasts

Fire Tree (5/2), Fantasy Gladiator (4/1), Cosmic Ray (11/2), Transmitting (6/1), Scribner Creek (8/1), Stoneboat Bill (8/1), Bling King (12/1), So It's War (12/1), Adventureman (20/1), Poppy Time (20/1), Athollblair Boy (20/1), Walking In Rhythm (25/1), Candesta (33/1), Swiftee (50/1)

Verdict

A wide open low grade handicap. Chelmsford winner Scribner Creek is an unknown on grass, and it will be interesting to see how he fares with the surface switch. Bling King has C&D winning form, but he's almost certainly had problems since then and this race looks definitive for his future career trajectory, whilst the likes of Athollblair Boy and So It's War haven't quite been up to winning down Newcastle's golden Tapeta highway. Therefore, the Pivotman angle is a good lead into this race with Stoneboat Bill much respected back from a break (with form closely tied up with Pivotman), who also saw off the selection COSMIC RAY by half a length at Leicester last week. Les Eyre is still getting to know this horse, and Paul Hanagan is a notable jockey booking.
