Another awful race where a watching brief is advised, but if you must take a financial interest then the suggestion is EPSOM SALTS, with Well Informed perhaps next best. The selection ran pretty well last time out on the flat at Great Leighs, he is lightly-raced and therefore open to improvement, and he has a decent draw, so we'll put him up. Well Informed is also a lightly-raced filly and she too might be capable of better. Runner-up at Wolverhampton last month, she has run creditable races twice since and stamina is here forte. Amwell Brave has been around the block plenty but won only three of his 55 all weather starts. He is good enough to make the frame here but would be a bit of a surprise winner despite a very favourable mark. Kassuta has been off the track a while and is stepped up markedly in trip here, which is far from certain to suit. Bobal Girl is not totally out of this if she puts in her best, but we'll very tentatively suggest taking Epsom Salts.
