Verdict
A poor seller filled with disappointing performers and the suggestion to small stakes is for Tricky Venture while Just Jennifer and Allenwood rate amongst the likely alternatives. Roger Charlton's charge is clearly one of the lesser lights at the powerful Beckhampton Stables but showed enough at Wolverhampton on Saturday night to suggest he can take advantage of this significant ease in grade. The son of Linamix stepped up on his sole previous start when showing bright speed before fading in the closing stages of a nine-furlong maiden. The drop in trip should prove ideal and, in the absence of any serious rivals, he should prove up to the task in hand. Just Jennifer showed a little promise when runner-up behind a useful sort in a Wolverhampton maiden last month but has made little impact on turf either before or since to warrant support while Allenwood has claims on last month's Southwell third off a mark of 54. However, the Inchinor colt flopped badly next time so Tricky Venture gets the nod.
