Verdict
Kathology is the ideal type for this level of company and she can see off old friend Willheconquertoo and Tag Team. David Elsworth's charge was on something of a losing run prior to his success at track and while it is folly to suggest that he may have turned the corner, sprinters in form are always worth following at this grade. Willheconquertoo is so consistent that you could set your watch by him and he should make another bold bid from the front. Tag Team is the best on official figures. Highly tried when with Andrew Balding, he has gone to a very much up-and-coming trainer and any positive market vibes should not be ignored. Byo is possibly better at Wolverhampton while Cargo is a perpetual loser who struggles to see out even the easiest of five furlong trips. Keresforth was a shock winner of a five-furlong handicap and is in receipt of lumps of weight on a return to claiming class. Five furlongs looks plenty sharp enough at present for Global Achiever. Kathology can strike again at this lesser grade and we shall seek not to oppose.
