Verdict

None of this bunch inspire much confidence but Becca Campbell has recorded both wins to date over track and trip. She won a seller here last month while Pastoral Star also landed a plating race at Ffos Las in July. Maria's Choice scored over 1m4f here on his penultimate start but MEDDLESOME will likely attract attention in this lowly grade. Unplaced in maiden company last year, he steps up in trip for his reappearance and Sir Mark Prescott’s runners typically show a big improvement over middle-distances.
