The Sprint Course here tens to favour extremes of draw, very high or very low, looking back when conditions
are like this a HIGH draw is marginally preferred but all of the pace here seems to be down LOW. I have narrowed the field
down to those who will appreciate conditions, win and run well early in the season and on nice marks. I was left with 5 really
and have left out BOSSIPOP drawn 1 from the tips and Tricast suggestion. A Course and Distance winner drawn 1 and likes
soft but that win came off a mark of 68 and it runs off 84 here and weight could just be an anchor today. My TRICAST perm
suggestions are KUPA RIVER and RIGHT TOUCH drawn 2 and 14 respectively, the former will be suited to conditions based
on Irish form and after a move to Roger Fell is one to follow and Roger Fell is probably the most "upwardly mobile" Trainer
in the Country for us to follow this Flat season. RIGHT TOUCH is on a nice mark; fit, loves conditions and as a 7 furlong
specialist, likely to be staying on and on at the end, just a view that it might be on the wrong side though to deliver a hold

up win here.

The selections are QUICK LOOK drawn in 6, won on soft, had a run; a nice handicap mark and ticks every box at a nice each
way price. Of those drawn high, as based on the heavy Going data I want to hedge my draw bets I will go with RUSSIAN REALM
comes from the Migeley Yard who can be "slow starters" but the horse has had a couple of encouraging AW runs so wont
lack for fitness, won on Soft at Haydock (where soft IS heavy in many instances) and could get a nice run up the stands rail.
