Verdict
Six runners go to post for this seller but it should be no more than a match between the top two who filled first and second at Chepstow recently. Bhutan, who was claimed out of Mary Reveley's stable after the race, was a cosy five length winner over Douceur Des Songes that day and, although the runner-up now meets her conqueror on 10lbs better terms, the result should be the same again. The faster ground is more to the liking of David Wintle's new inmate, who gets the TEAMtalk vote. Cooling Off is the best of the remainder on official BHB ratings but should not be good enough to trouble the two previously mentioned.
