Verdict

All of these are previous C&D winners with the exception of Best Trip. He's not out of this if allowed an easy lead but a chance is taken on BORAGH JAMAL. She beat the latter and Italian Tom when runner-up over 6f at this track on her reappearance and, with improvement expected today, Brian Meehan's filly can go one better. Kylladdie has decent claims having beaten subsequent winner Straboe and today's rival Absa Lutte at Wolverhampton recently, while Desert Strike had Island Legend behind at the same track last month and is another to consider.
