Verdict
Not the strongest of races to start proceedings and we will take a chance on Jackie Kiely with Saucy and Fiddles Music put forward as the main dangers. Unlike most of this field the selection has at least won a race recently. The victory came in a Southwell handicap when he got the better of the King Of Rock. His turf form is of a similar standard and in this weak contest he holds strong claims. Mick Channon's Fiddles Music landed a poor seller at Yarmouth last time but is weighted accordingly and may get into a place. Saucy could be the dark horse in the line up, she cut no in two Lingfield events recently but on firm ground last season was only beaten four lengths in a hot fillies maiden, with conditions to suit this evening she could figure in the finish. So not a race to put your shirt and Jackie Kiely is a token selection.
