Verdict
Weakest Link may prove strongest against the Nick Littmoden pair Park Ave Princess and Docklands Blue. Weakest Link has yet to race on the Polytrack but has shaped well enough at both Southwell and Wolverhampton this year. Down the field on his one turf start at Doncaster as a juvenile for Sally Hall, the son of Mind Games now makes his handicap debut and this is where his future will lie if he is to be successful for Willie Jarvis. The faster conditions should bring out the best in him and he looks set to run his best race yet. Park Ave Princess has the assistance of Darryll Holland and continues to race off a decent mark compared to her Turf rating. Although down the field here 12 days ago, her form prior to that is encouraging and she should go close as well. Her stablemate Docklands Blue has yet to race over seven furlongs but will stay the trip on breeding and has a plenty of scope, being lightly raced so far. She's Our Lass has an absence to overcome, otherwise she would have an each-way chance, but we return to Weakest Link as the answer.
