An interesting handicap that can go to Selkirk Sky, while Goodbye, Tina's Ridge and Chasing Memories are all last-time winners who will attract support. The selection was a good debut scorer over 7f at Thirsk recently and being by Selkirk this step up to a mile should be right up her street. She stayed on strongly last time and with improvement to come she is confidently expected to follow up on ground that she should handle. Tina's Ridge races over his optimum trip and although both his recent wins have come with cut in the ground, being by Indian Ridge he should be equally as effective on fast ground and with a 2lb drop here he can go close. Chasing Memories was a soft ground Beverley winner last time out but is happy on a sound surface, though a 3lb rise will make this tough. Of the others Goodbye was a comfortable 7f Thirsk maiden winner last time but this mark of 72 has proved just a little too much in previous handicaps and preference is for Selkirk Sky.
