Verdict

COURTIN BB was successful over 2m5f on her penultimate outing and ran a fair enough race when fifth over 3m1f on soft ground subsequently. The ground was possibly too soft for her on that occasion and this drop back to 2m4f should also be in her favour. Gold Smoke seemed to improve for the addition of cheekpieces last time out and can claim the runner-up spot here with top weight War Of The Pennys taken to finish third.
  1. Courtin Bb
  2. Gold Smoke
  3. War Of The Pennys
