Verdict

Most of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks an excellent opportunity for Sam England's veteran TOM CREEN to garner a sixth win at the track. Jennie Candlish's chasing newcomer Maggies Boy could emerge as the main danger.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Paddock

The area where horses gather before the race to be saddled and paraded for the public.

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.
