WIPE THE SLATE (3) shapes well for this after a lightning last start success, getting around this track over 480m in 28.52. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time. COPPICE SAPHIRE (2) was game in defeat when finished in the minors last start over the 480m at this track, running a swift 28.76 in a OR3. Fast run latest and rates a key player again. JACKTAVERN LAB (6) is an honest type in the frame at 16 of 33 starts including last time when third (40.30) over 640m at Sunderland. Has a good record here at this journey. Looks suited and expected to run well. HARDWICK WOODY (4) generally performs well from this box.
