In an open handicap that rounds things off CWMNI looks to have the best claims and she is given the verdict over Fine Silk and Amosite. The pick has been in good form in three starts this term winning on her return before a couple of narrow losses. Her latest was a Bath on lightning quick ground and with these conditions likely to suit better she can go in off just a 1lb higher. Fine Silk put in a career best to miss out by a head in a maiden last time. She does have it to prove under this burden but if building on that last run she can go close. Amosite is 4lbs heavier in the handicap than when last getting home in front after a narrow miss last time. The handicapper looks to have been a bit harsh after that so we look elsewhere. Bold Ring found just the one too good in a seller on her last run and on the best of her running she is fairly treated but Cwmni looks the way to go in the last.
