Verdict
Course specialist She's Our Native is taken to score again at the expense of Rakalackey and Jimmy Tennis. The selection has won five times around Ludlow and was in winning form here last time out. She has been raised eleven pounds though for her efforts so things will be tougher for her today but with the yard in such good form this season and with the fact that she loves the track she is worth staying on the right side of. Rakalackey is nine pounds higher for his most recent success at Kempton. He is another who will find things more difficult as a consiquence but the yard are having a purple patch after a slow start to the season so any market moves should be noted. Jimmy Tennis won off one hundred and five but struggled off an eleven pound higher mark around here last time out and for that reason is to best treated with caution. So for the winner we return to She's Our Native.
