Verdict
Roxanne Mill is in great form at present and looks the one to beat here with stablemate Pulse and Gone 'N' Dunnett the two we fear the most. The mare from the Milton Bradley yard has been knocking on the door for some time and she was only narrowly beaten behind Petana at Musselburgh last time. She is well drawn here and should be capable of another bold effort. Pulse had the worst of the draw when running well at Warwick last time and with a good draw here he could go very well. Gone 'N' Dunnett is dropped in trip after winning well at Yarmouth last time when defeating Kennington. However, he is probably better over 5 furlongs anyway but he is not ideally drawn in stall 4 and might just find a couple too good. Of the remainder, Indian Bazaar is a course and distance winner and he might be worth a second look in the market, but for the winner we return to Roxanne Mill.
