Verdict

A frankly dismal opener in which it's extremely difficult to envisage the vast majority of those declared winning a race. The Irish mare Pretty Little Liar offered something positive to work with at Down Royal (fourth) last month and won't be making the journey over to England simply to make up the numbers. However, the preferred choice is the veteran CATCHIN TIME who appears to possess somewhat of an affinity with Uttoxeter and won't find many more suitable winning opportunities than this during the remainder of his racing career.
  1. Catchin Time
