Bakhoor was good value for her win at Leicester last week and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to prevent the Willie Jarvis-trained filly from following up and she is taken to do just that with the main dangers looking to be Keyaki and Linda Green. The last mentioned is capable, as she showed when successful at Bath last time, but is hard to catch right and may be best watched off a 5lb higher mark today. Golden Asha may need more time, while Bowness was well held in admittedly better company last time and is hard to recommend with any confidence despite the good form of James Given's runners. Shes Minnie and Sweet Pickle are consistent performers and have place claims at the very least although a bigger threat is likely to come from Chris Wall's progressive Keyaki. Bakhoor was good value for his win at Leicester though and is taken to defy the penalty.
