Niffler

Smasher is a seasoned 5-year-old by Dandy Man out of Mercifilly, who has won four times at 6f and is back below his last winning mark of 54, which makes him dangerous. Forced wide from a poor draw last time, so the run can be forgiven. Handles the AW, the cheekpieces suit and Carson rides again for Attwater, who does well with sprinters. If breaking cleanly and able to sit handy rather than being posted deep, he looks primed to bounce back and is an each-way player at this level.

Moonlight Bomb is a 3-year-old by Sea The Moon out of Miss Atomic Bomb, who has shaped better than his bare record suggests and still has upside. He was below par in blinkers last time when beaten 5 lengths over 7 here, but his better efforts have come at 1 mile where he travels more strongly. Osborne has nursed similar types back to form, and the return to a more suitable trip with Carver keeping the ride could see him settle and finish off better. On 62, he remains on a fair mark, and if the headgear helps him focus this time, he looks an each-way who could run into the money.
