Aquadabra could only manage third at Salisbury off today’s mark when bidding for a hat-trick and it could be the turn of TERRI RULES today. The latter found only one too good over 6f here last time but finished in front of both Sandfrankskipsgo and Brogans Bay when runner-up over course and distance before that and gets the vote on that form. The latter had won here back in June while Ask The Guru showed a bit more at Brighton on his latest start and could go well having won nine times on the all-weather in the past.
