Verdict
Another contest in which there is not all that much to set the pulses racing. De Vegas Kid remains a maiden but might find a low grade handicap within his reach eventually whilst Coachella ought to be far stronger in the first time cheek-pieces if he has ever any aspirations to climb the handicap ladder. Doctor Bong is out of sorts, but was essentially far better than these rivals once upon a time whilst Cooperess is surely worth a small each-way play if copious amounts of rain arrive. However, the somewhat forced vote goes to SADIEROSECLIFFORD who might just find this extra yardage to her liking if settling better under Robert Winston.
