Verdict

Best Boy hadn't shown much but attracted support when landing a slightly better handicap here a couple of weeks ago so a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. The Way You Dance had shown some potential at Haydock before finishing last at Brighton but ALL MY LOVE has been performing with credit and is given the nod with any further rain a bonus. Strategic Order has never won while Our Time Will Come ran poorly at Musselburgh after landing a Catterick maiden on soft ground. It's difficult to make a case for Codger's Gift, who showed little in three maidens last summer, though she starts off in handicaps off a lowly mark.
