Verdict
Toboggan Lady arrives here in great form and she can land the hat-trick at the main expense of Serhaaphim and Red Flare. This filly is clearly improving with her racing and she looked in need of further despite winning last time at Catterick when beating Blockley. This step-up in trip should work in her favour and she should prove tough to beat. Serhaaphim looked suited by the step-up in trip when finishing third behind Kentucky Boy at Beverley last time. She remains relatively unexposed and should go well. Lady Trail was off the bridle for a long way last time in that same Beverely race but she did stick to her guns and she finished only narrowly behind Serhaaphim. Red Flare looks sure to run his race again, but he might just be in the grip of the handicapper at present and he may have to settle for some place money. Toboggan Lady is an improving filly and she should relish this step-up in trip and we think she will be hard to beat.
