Verdict

Quite a few with chances in an open event and narrow preference is for Ruth Jefferson's HELLO BERTIE. He was out of sorts when last seen but has undergone a wind op, and with the yard in great form of late there is a fair chance he may produce an improved display. Russian Rascal tries to strike again after winning nicely last week at Sedgefield, and both Secret Melody and Mr Kite have claims. Barrd, Bit Of A Quirke and Baron Von Chill are others worth considering.
  1. Hello Bertie
  2. Secret Melody
  3. Bit Of A Quirke
