Formscan By Gary Carson - Softening ground would be a concern for a few of these but GOODBYE SOMEDAY might be able to follow up on his win at Tramore. He was heavily supported then to get the job done in a race sponsored by his owners and duly did the business in convincing style. The handicapper gave him a 9lb hike for that but he was good value for the rise last time and may be able to defy the increase. Silver Star chased him home then and is entitled to get closer now on revised terms. Ashqar opened his account here last month when a last gasp success and the handicapper has put him up just a pound back in handicap company so he has to come into calculations.
