In depth
Verdict
The market may provide plenty of clues here and if the market vibes are positive for Pappy then this filly from the Tony Carroll yard could be worth supporting with Elsinora and Savernake Brave the likely dangers. The selection was disappointing last time over 6 furlongs but she had been well supported in the market when third behind Danifah at Chepstow over 7 furlongs previously. She is racing back over 7 furlongs here, has got a fair draw and she could be the value in the race as she hails from a very shrewd yard. Elsinora continues to knock on the door and she is a consistent sort, but she is beginning to look thoroughly exposed and she may again find a couple too good here. Savernake Brave beat Crimson Star at Folkestone last time but the first two home got the run of the race that day and he may struggle to run up to that level here. Stagecoach Ruby won well last time but is dropped significantly in trip here so looks worth taking on, and for the winner we return to Pappy.
