In depth

Verdict

Piddie's Pride, Limonia and Linda green are the three to look at here and the ultra reliable Linda Green gets the nod. A winner at Lingfield last month, Linda green has been kept busy since but has run consistently, going close on several occasions. She looks sure to run her race again, and judged on a good effort at Windsor last time, the frequent runs have not blunted her enthusiasm. Piddie's Pride has been successful twice recently but they were both in sellers. Whenever tried in handicaps he has always been found wanting this season. He looks thoroughly exposed and is worth taking on. Limonia has struggled to win in handicaps but has two claiming wins at Hamilton to her credit. She is genuine but has limited ability. Linda green can make the most of some near misses and take this.
