OVERNIGHT OATS has been a serial winner for this yard and he remains on the upgrade judged on his stylish win at Southwell on Friday. He’s likely to make another bold bid off a similar mark and is preferred to the thriving Tea Sea. Paradoxical may prove best of the others.

Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface. On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital
It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): T Carroll (97 wins from 1022 runners, 9%) runs NEPTUNE LEGEND TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): T Carroll (5 wins from 48 runners, 10%) runs NEPTUNE LEGEND WEIGHTWATCHER: JUMIRA BRIDGE won off a handicap mark of 52, his rating is now down 5lb to 47. LONGEST TRAVELLER: ROCKLEY POINT trained by Miss K Scott, Galashiels, 243 miles.
Having taken a step back in the right direction at Lingfield recently, NORDIC GLORY could be the answer He’s effectively 3lb lower in the weights here (eased 1lb since and was 2lb ‘wrong’ at Lingfield) and shades preference ahead of Neptune Legend, who has been in good form in classified events in recent weeks Eldeyaar has slipped to a dangerous mark and is third choice. 1-2-3:
