        Verdict

        Easibet Dot Net ran well in defeat last time out and Linda Perratt's gelding gets the nod here ahead of Merrymaker. Martin Todhunter has taken the last two running¿s of this race with Ostfani, so his representative Harcas needs respect, however he, along with Spring Breeze are both returning from long absences and it would be some training performance if either of those were to win. Instead Easibet Dot Net, a recent second here at the track, is fancied to gain an overdue success. Merrymaker faces easier company than last time out at Pontefract, and he looks well-handicapped at present. Dance Sauvage is yet to win in 15 starts, and his recent form suggests that run will continue here, and so we will return to Easibet Dot Net as the selection.
