Verdict
VALLARTA won over 7f here a fortnight ago and is upped only 2lb. Ruth Carr’s charge can confirm superiority with Be Bold and go in again in this lower grade. In My Place was third over track and trip last month having landed a double before that while Rock Canyon ran well in a lower grade here last time but Specialv ‘s earlier success at Windsor came over a mile. African Blessing made a winning start at Southwell back in March but never figured on his handicap debut at Newmarket on a recent comeback.
