Verdict
Weakest Link lost no caste in defeat in a similar contest at Redcar last month but and has to be respected but Eric Alston's gelding remains a maiden after 24 career start sand is probably best left out of calculations with a safer bet looking to be Outrageous Flirt, who is preferred to Tequila Sheila. The last mentioned has dropped to a fair mark but Karl Burke's gelding would probably prefer a softer surface so he may be best watched. Haulage Man has ground conditions to suit and has slipped to a decent mark but has given little cause for optimism in three runs this term, having missed last season. Smirfys Night would have claims if fit enough for his return, while Royal Pardon is another that remains a maiden and may struggle to give weight away all round. Quicks The Word ran better here behind Obe Bold last month and is another to consider but preference is for Outrageous Flirt, who is entitled to come on a bundle for her recent reappearance, has ground conditions to suit and has the assistance of leading rider Serena Brotherton.
