Verdict

A tricky race to call but SOHCAHTOA is proven over this trip and he can get all his angles right to score. Richard Hannon's gelding is no superstar but after being well-held last time at Newbury he should relish both the drop in grade and trip this afternoon. Advertise is down to run at Newbury on Tuesday but would be a big player at a track he likes if taking part here despite stamina concerns, while Whistleinthewind tries a visor instead of blinkers as he searches for his first win for almost a year. Indian Valley, winner of a similar race at Yarmouth a fortnight ago, is respected at these weights, whilst State Visit, Easy Terms and Sounds Of Thunder are all rated in the 60's and the strongest of that trio looks to be the unexposed State Visit.
