Race preview
METALLIC BLACK and Moyassar look the ones to focus on despite carrying penalties for winning last time out. The latter built on the promise of his opening two performances with a facile success at Chelmsford and Richard Hannon's charge looks a nice sort, but he has to give 3lb to the former and that could prove crucial. Richard Fahey's inmate ran out a very impressive winner over 6f at Pontefract on debut, form which has been boosted by the fourth running well at York since, and the son of Bated Breath shaped like he will have learnt plenty from that introduction. Blyton is the most experienced in the field and completes the shortlist.
