Verdict

Alans Pride has been a beacon of consistency lately and scored in a big field here last time, he should give another decent account but might be undone carrying a penalty. Similarly, the filly Polly Douglas is thriving this season and has raced up the rating with three wins already. She went well off her latest mark at this track a week ago over 5f and is not dismissed readily. ENTER THE RED was a C&D winner in June and ran a pleasing race to be second to a rival in form this month, he can give this a decent having gone up the minimum for that showing. Rapid Applause and Tobacco Bay are also worth considering.
  1. Enter The Red
  2. Polly Douglas
  3. Alans Pride
