LETS GO GIRLS is a speculative call against Planetarium and Apt To Run. Jimmy Moffatt's mare had a rare off day last time out but she is proven at this grade and with the yard having a fair spell of places at present, she represents a value option against apparently better opposition. Planetarium won a seller at Sedgefield and has been kept busy on the flat over middle distances of late. He should love the ground. Apt To Run has to be respected given the trainer's current from with his raiders though there is an absence to overcome. Dream Risk is tried in a tonguestrap having failed to build upon a success at Cartmel in similar grade. Mister Castlefield was due to run last night whilst High Stand Lad surprisingly reverts to the smaller obstacles having dotted up in a handicap chase at Cartmel. Annibale Caro is a course-and-distance winner and as he is running in this grade for the first time over hurdles, he should be noted in the betting accordingly. A fair race and Lets Go Girls is put forward in pursuit of a chance at longer odds.
