Verdict
An open race concludes the card and we'll take a chance that ZIGGY LEE can come back to form and take the measure of Master Lightfoot and Make My Dream. The selection ran a stinker when stepped up to 6f last time at Windsor, so has a bit to prove, but the drop in trip will suit, as will this fast ground. He has come back from a poor run before to win, as he did at Southwell 13 months ago, and with a 2lb drop to help we will side with him. Master Lightfoot was put up a harsh-looking 11lbs for his Windsor win last month, and the handicapper has not waited long to reappraise his abilities. From today's pitch of 78 he looks likely to be very competitive. Make My Dream has enjoyed a decent spring, making the frame in a pair of sprint handicaps in recent weeks, though a 2lb rise won't make this any easier and we will take him on again. Evelyn May is back on a winning Polytrack mark and should be heavily involved once more, as she handles these conditions, but we will stick with Ziggy Lee.
