FormscanBy John O'Riordan - NEVER SHOUT NEVER is one of the least experienced in this field but the Fozzy Stack-trained three-year-old went agonisingly close over 6f in the Bold Lad here last time. Dropping back to the minimum trip should suit the No Nay Never colt and he looks nicely drawn for a prominent racer. Laugh A Minute arguably needs a furlong extra now that he enters the twilight stage of his career but the Ado McGuinness-trained eight-year-old can usually be relied upon to run his race in this grade. Despite appearing to be well berthed, the Mayson gelding will need plenty of luck, as he is a hold up horse who needs the gaps to open at the right time. The Highway Rat has to concede weight all round but is a highly capable sprinter who holds a couple of intriguing group race entries later in the season.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards that at entry have run three or more times under any Rules of Racing, at least one of those runs having been on or after 1st August, 2022 (100 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
