Verdict

Hard to find a solid proposition with most of these having shown little of late. LADY MASTER is the pick in the hope that she can return to the form she showed on her chasing debut at Wetherby; a repeat of that would be good enough here. Cnoc Sion would need to return to his Bangor form to be in with a chance but he can’t be written off in a weak heat like this. Western Morning has at least won a point-to-point and this sphere may well show him in a better light, he’s not quite a forlorn hope. Muilean Na Madog is another who needs to repeat previous form his Ludlow second giving him a chance if he turns up after running at Plumpton on Wednesday.
  1. Lady Master
  2. Western Morning
  3. Cnoc Sion
