It's easy to pick holes in the form of most of these runners and LAURA LAND rates no more than a speculative selection. She won a similar event over C&D under Becky Brisbourne in February and may come out best again despite a 4lb higher mark. Private Equity won a race in the French provinces in between a couple of modest efforts at Kempton and it was only a seller that Acropolis won here in March. Wrecking Crew has gone up 5lb in the weights for a string of placed efforts, but Amical Risks and Iguacu have place claims if at their best.
