Verdict

This stiff track might not suit 5f specialist Perfect Blossom but most of the others can be given a chance in a competitive little handicap. Love Island had been in good form prior to a poor run at Doncaster while Fanrouge beat Rivas Rhapsody at Warwick before finishing fourth at Leicester. Misplaced Fortune looks held on collateral form with the above pair, however, and may struggle to give 12lb to MIDNIGHT DYNAMO. Graham Lee was on board Jim Goldie's mare when she won over this trip at Redcar in September and she came right back to her best over 5f at Ayr nine days ago. Ray Of Joy is on a very fair mark at present but hasn't really sparkled so far this year.
