Keisha Kayleigh is preferred over Raven Rascal and Irish Relative in a very poor contest that will not live long in the memory. Irish Relative reverts to turf on a very lowly mark and it will be a poor race when he eventually gets his head in front. Still, this is his level and, assuming he handles the ground, he has little to find to get competitive for one of the places today. Raven Rascal swapped hands for 4,200gns after winning at Southwell last month (Irish Relative was just over a length behind) and can give her connections a bit of fun at this level. Still, she is of very ordinary ability and, as she was never a factor when she raced here previously, she looks opposable today. Therefore, we turn to Keisha Kayleigh - the only other runner with a solid recent effort to her name. Brian Ellison's charge drops into this grade for the first time and she need only run to form to brush this lot aside.
