Trainer Kelly Mitchley saddles Single File in Race 2. He was running on when third over this course and distance last time.
His penultimate run when a head behind the winner over this course and distance, catches the eye. The son of Canford Cliffs meets the right field today and if not too far out of his ground at the halfway mark, he can shed his maiden tag.
My Boy Reecey from the Sharon Kotzen stable takes his place in Race 6. He finished 1.85 lengths behind Bournemouth last time.
He is 3kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned.
The son of Wylie Hall has no issues with the return to the turf and from his good draw of two, he may find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
