Verdict
RAWAABET can land this very low level finale, with Glamoroso and Martingrange Lass also having respectable chances. Horses are racing at this level for a reason though, so there's not a great deal of confidence behind the selection. He moved to Reg Hollinshead's stable fairly recently, and has been third in his two runs for him, in a Plumpton hurdle and a similar contest to this at Wolverhampton. He seems to be a jack of all trades but master of none, and has moved yard a number of times. Four trainers in six months could tell its own story, but nonetheless he should be too good for a fair number of these, if not all of them. Glamoroso is consistent, but consistently not very good. However, if he's ever going to win a race it's going to be this sort of contest. The same could be said about Martingrange Lass. It's a race we're not getting involved in financially, but if the arm was twisted strongly enough, we'd nominate Rawaabet.
