Verdict
Silver Gift won well at Worcester last time out but he is creeping up the weights and he may be worth taking on off this mark. Lost The Plot won well last time out and now she has got her head in front she could improve again and again with conditions in her favour must go close. Timpani has shown only a modicum of ability and needs to drop in the weights to score his jumping has also let him down on occasions. Banjo Hill is a course and distance winner and could go well with conditions in his favour but he was slightly disappointing last time out. Miss Locroix won a conditional Jockey race last time out so is not penalised for that win and could also go close.
