Verdict
Amelia Glass has struck up a good relationship with LITTLE PALAVER and the course and distance winner can provide the combination with a third success together. Trip and ground are fine and he should be in the mix off a mark of 72, 2lb lower than when the 7-y-o was last successful in January. Major Valentine wins in his turn and should be involved if putting a rather below par effort behind him last time, whilst Handytalk is consistent enough of late but seems in search of an ideal trip. Motajaasid clung on bravely to oblige last time and it's interesting to see Richard Hughes drop him back down to 6f as he's tackled 7f and upwards on his last seven outings.
