SMALLCRAFTWARNING 20/1

SMALLCRAFTWARNING at 20/1, John Patrick Ryan and Daniel King, makes most appeal. He went close off this sort of rating, beaten 2.75L off 93 on 2 July, handles the ground, with 2 wins from 5 on it and has a telling booking — a rider who has won on it before returns.

The one worry is yard out of form.

CORNMARKET rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — 10 runs on soft or heavy, never won, never placed — and today is soft.

The dangers are GOOD WORLD at 20/1 (a course winner) and PRIDE OF PLACE at 10/1.
