SLINGSHOT SAM (4) boasts a strong record this journey with 11 wins and 12 minors from 32 tries. Scored by 6 lengths last time (28.36) in an A1 over 480m at this track. Looks a key chance on best form. BALLYMAC SARGIE (3) will be thereabouts while fresh. SCOOBY THE DUKE (1) can keep on winning after a convincing last start success, getting around the 480m at Nottingham in 28.71. In form and must include in calculations. DELVIN CAT (6) recorded a 2 length win (28.84) in an A1 last time at this track. Looks one of the chances.
