In depth
Verdict
Plenty of dead wood in a particularly poor seller filled with moderate animals so Key Oneothree, who showed some promise last time, is the suggestion to small stakes ahead of Non Ultra and Baytown Flyer. Mark Johnston's filly left previous efforts behind when a fair third in a competitive Hamilton claimer last time and a reproduction may well suffice off a low mark in a race that should take little winning. Non Ultra ran some respectable races in all-weather handicaps during the winter but has become disappointing and was well below her best at Wolverhampton last time so Brian Meehan's charge now has something to prove. Similar comments apply to Baytown Flyer who has looked on the downgrade since landing a claimer on the Polytrack at Lingfield in October so Zara Louise, who put up her best career effort when an unlucky second in maiden company here last month looks best of the remainder.
