      Verdict

      The traditional second race Leicester seller reunites Boutan and Mecca's Missus who came home one-two here in mid-July under similar conditions. The latter, now 8lb better off for a beating of over three lengths, should finish much closer now. She's since finished a fair fourth in a Thirsk selling handicap and should be in the mix. Boutan returned to this venue to contest another seller over a longer trip but ran into Port Paradise, who looked very well treated that day. George Baker's filly had the rest of the field comfortably accounted for and should confirm placings with Zabdi, fourth on that occasion. SMART MOVER has the best form in the book this season when landing a Pontefract handicap in May and has gone close the last twice in selling and claiming company. A course and distance winner, she should go close here with ground to suit.
