Verdict
A pretty weak handicap in which nothing leaps off the page. HERLEVA has won five times and was a fair sixth in what was a better race here last time. With a leading jockey doing the steering, he’ll be hard to keep out of the frame. My Pottinguer is a long-standing maiden but was second here two runs ago and would have a chance on that form. Country Nevez wasn’t entirely disgraced over a similar trip last time and the same comment applies to Bubbly but Rajsa Card’s recent victory at Pau came on Turf over 1m4f. Speedy Speed is probably the pick of the remainder.
