Cruise Control silk
Cruise Control 1
J: C Zackey
T: D G Smith
Course specialist (15 wins); won a stakes race by just over 2l two months ago; he has a shout; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break and there is potential to save ground from stall four.

Finished a decent second of seven in a stakes race last month behind Mercantour upped to 7f; mostly consistent recently and knows this place inside out (13 course wins); every chance.

Mercantour
J: A Domeyer
T: A C Greeff
Won by just over 1l over 7f here (stakes race) accounting for three of these rivals last month; goes very well here with three C&D wins to his name and bidding for a hat-trick; looks well drawn so looks a likely player.

Boasts a creditable six from 16 record at this track; far from disgraced (beaten just under 2l) here over 7f (stakes race) when behind the reopposing Mercantour 35 days ago; meeting some horses in good form and others are preferred.

Verdict

FAIRY KNIGHT can prove superior to his rivals. He bids for a third C&D success and has been running consistently well. The well drawn Cruise Control has claims while Cruise Control, Mercantour and Black Egret are C&D winners, and Black Egret would have been of serious interest from a better draw.
