Verdict
Soft ground was a legitimate excuse for Conquestadim at Chepstow last month and he shouldn't be written off just yet but the handicapper appears to have a grip on A Little Bit Dusty. The Ducking Stool reserves her best for Yarmouth but recent Goodwood runner-up Emman Bee has won twice here and Eton Rambler was touched off at Windsor last week off today's mark. GUILDED SPIRIT ran a lot better than his final placing suggests on his reappearance at Windsor. He'll strip fitter here and an easy victory at Ffos Las in August was achieved on good ground. He could be a bit of value as Hector's Chance has been beaten off lower marks lately.
