Verdict

Two improving handicappers on fibresand go head-to-head in Start Seven and FERN OWL. Both look to have taken well to this surface and it should be a good duel between the two with the latter gaining narrow preference. It’s hard to see any of the others being good enough at these weights to take a hand although the veteran La Estrella must be given respect due to his remarkable record on here. Katie Gale has plenty of ground to make up on Fern Owl but may well be able to grab a place with the weights enabling her to get closer to her rival this time out. 1. Fern Owl 2. Start Seven 3. Katie Gale
