Verdict

Hoh Wotanite has found just the one too good in his last two starts, both over course and distance, and Reg Hollinshead's colt has to be respected but he may have to settle for minor honours again with preference for the lightly raced Feeling Wonderful who is preferred to Grand Lucre. The last mentioned has struggled against the handicapper since landing her maiden at Lingfield in March but she has been showing gradual improvement of late and has to be respected from the pick of the draw. Majehar lost no caste in defeat behind the in-form Nan Jan at Lingfield last time but may be a shade high in the weights. Brian Meehan's Day By Day is less exposed than of these but looks plenty high enough in the handicap for what he has achieved, while Casablanca Minx has given little sign of encouragement of late. The vote then goes to Mark Johnston's Feeling Wonderful who has shown gradual improvement of late and she looks worth chancing on her debut on the Polytrack.
