    • Race 4 Wehaveasituation each way at 14/1. Hinted at a return to form last time, 1 point above last winning mark and handles cut.
    • Race 5 United Front at 4/1. Good win latest on return to WCP, not overly punished by handicapper and 2 from 2 over c&d. Big player if he can overcome the widest gate
    • Race 6 Red Flag at 3/1. Fluent win to get out of the maidens last time out. More needed here but plenty of scope for improvement and quite possible there could be some blue sky in the merit rating of 80
    • Race 7 Gold Dust at 7/1, backed and ran a gallant 2nd last time, good record in wet and jumps from gate 1
    • Race 8 Pink Pigeon at 5/2. Holds a number of these on 15th August run at Kenilworth, also goes well this course, handles cut and drawn 4 with de Melo up.
