Verdict

JESSICA WIGMO caught a tartar in the form of Copper King last time out and she can make amends today by swooping late on Davids Mark and Commanding Presence. Tony Carroll's mare knows this track well and she ran a good race in defeat here earlier in the month. The handicapper has left er on the same mark and this is the time of year when she tends to win. Davids Mark is also a course regular; he holds the selection on their running behind Equinity and his consistency puts him high on the shortlist again. Royal Acclamation's effort behind Albero Di Guida looks solid, George Baker is an interesting booking for Boldinor, whilst Sonhador disappointed at Lingfield when last seen. Commanding Presence can win off his current mark of 45, whilst Winterbourne is still a maiden. This looks a good opportunity for Jessica Wigmo to get back to winning ways.
