Molly Ann is put forward as the pick here over Umverti and Leonid Glow. The selection was a convincing winner over Lucky Character at Musselburgh last time out, and the manner of that success marked her down as one to stay on the right side of. She does have a penalty to shoulder here, but it is unlikely to stop her. Umverti won over this course and distance last month when beating Welcome Return. That was her first career success so it remains to be seen if she can now go on from that. Leonid Glow won two starts ago but the 6lbs penalty anchored her last time, while Party In The Park has been running well of late and is another to consider. Kevin Ryan won this race last year so Horatio Carter is worth a market check, but a safer bet looks to be Molly Ann who should prove tough to beat.
