FISHERMANS COTTAGE (9) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only one length from the winner at the end of 1160m. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DARKENED EDGE (7) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1.5 lengths over 1000m at Chepstow. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. APACHE STAR (1) is back after a break of three months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1000m at Southwell All Weather. Definite top-three chance. PORT HEDLAND (4) scored two back at Brighton but was below his best last time when eighth over 1200m at Brighton. Should be in the mix in this suitable race.
