Verdict
Piddies Pride can complete a hat-trick at the expense of Stamford Blue, Cree and Sweet Pickle. Piddies Pride has suddenly found her form for new connections, and is out to retain her unbeaten record at the Kent track, having made it three wins from three visits in a class 5 handicap last month. That was her first victory outside of selling class, and as this is one grade lower, a small rise should not be a problem as it still leaves her attractively weighted compared to last year. Stamford Blue makes a quick reappearance after scoring narrowly over five furlongs at Chepstow on Thursday. The extra furlong will be in his favour and he rates a main danger along with Cree who is very well in and who has been knocking at the door this season. Sweet Pickle might find conditions just too fast here, but has been profitable to follow, especially on the all-weather. Of the rest, Littledodayno and Monashee Prince have minor place claims, but for the winner we return to course specialist Piddies Pride.
