Race Tip
This track could play to the strength of recent Newbury winner METAL MERCHANT (8) where a 5lb rise in weights may prove lenient. DUTCH DECOY (10) has been knocking at the door at Newmarket (1m and 1m1f) recently and will surely be in the mix despite going up a further 2lb. It would be foolish to ignore three-time course winner NORTHERN EXPRESS (3). Slips to a workable mark after two below-par efforts away from this venue for the season. BLUE FOR YOU (5) is two from six over course and distance. Dangerous to rule out making reappearance after a wind-op.
