Verdict
Sally's Swansong scored over C&D last week with Rightcar, Nine Before Ten and Ladydolly all well beaten but will find it difficult to take up a good position from her wide draw today and BRANDYWELL BOY is preferred. The Bath second was only beaten a nose off today's mark the last time he raced over track and trip and can go one better in this. Speedyfix won at Yarmouth in July and makes more appeal than stablemate and handicap debutante College Doll but the remainder are hard to fancy.
