Verdict

Pick A Little failed to complete the three-timer at Brighton where he goes particularly well but he may well have not been suited by the soft ground that day and remains very much of interest under Cam Hardie. He's certainly one for the shortlist on previous efforts. George Baker is becoming a most reliable servant to his namesake trainer and arrives on the back of success in the Channel Islands in the Jersey Guineas. He's a solid sort who should also be in the mix but we'll take a chance with JERSEY BROWN. The Marju filly's sole success came on quick ground at Ayr last season and she continues to deliver a good account, goes well for 7lb claimer Daniel Cremin and is asked to operate off what remains a feasible mark.
