Verdict
With a few of these looking held by the handicapper, it will probably be best to side with one in good form recently, such as PACIFIC SALT . This hat-trick seeker won very well indeed at Nottingham last time to continue a recent spell of improvement. A 6lb penalty may prove to be a lenient rise in the weights in time given how stylishly he got the job done on that occasion, and a jockey he gets on well with claims a useful 3lb. The lightly raced Kitty Boo is open to further improvement and could be next best, ahead of Salt Whistle Bay , who would go close if proving himself on better ground.
