A low grade event that THE CUCKOO can land it at the expense of Speak The Truth and Fasilyanne. The booking of Martin Dwyer catches the eye this afternoon and while it remains to be seen as to whether his mount is up to translating fibresand form to the polytrack, this is such a bad race that even with such doubts, he rates as a selection. Speak The Truth made all to land a maiden at Wolverhampton. He was not disgraced in handicap company around here last January. Fasilyanne is now 0 from 10. The blinkers appear not to have worked the oracle. Ruby Tallulah is entirely capable though frustrating. Little Lost is probably the pick of the Jamie Osborne pair. Just The Lady is a course-and-distance winner but that glory came an awful long time ago. The Cuckoo is the pick in a race that won't be living too long in the memory.
