In depth
Verdict
A wide open contest, with two or three displaying recent placed form. Marnie shaped well in a blanket finish here last time, but the fact that they finished in a heap casts doubts on the form. Littlemissattitude comes from a stable to be feared on the Polytrack and looks nicely weighted but did not show much last time, while Groovy was fifth behind Cuddles over a longer trip here recently, one paced close home and this shorter trip is not in her favour. TEAMtalk like the look of Cherrycombe-Row, who was a good second to My Maite over further here on her last run, but in contrast to Groovy, will appreciate the drop back in trip. A wide draw is not a problem and as there is no kickback, coming late is not a hindrance either. With Simon Whitworth in the plate, she looks sure to run well for a stable that does not have too many in this sort of event.
