Let It Be has been progressive enough in recent weeks and we believe that she can land another prize at the expense of Richtee and Donastrela. Let It Be looked to relish the winning opportunity found for her at Pontefract and she repaid connections' confidence by landing a subsequent prize at Catterick. She is certainly at the right end of the handicap to be taking this prize. Richtee appears comfortable on any going and sets the standard for the race. A step up in trip should not inconvenience. Donastrela was a comprehensive victor at Bath. She has got another weak field again today and the fact that Andrew Balding is making a long journey up North will no doubt be evident in the betting. Royal Distant has always threatened to win a race for Mick Easterby whereas Land Of Nod has an interesting jockey booking and takes a drop in class having chased home the useful Wee Dins on her last racecourse visit. Not the strongest of races but an obvious chance for Let It Be.
