Verdict
Agent Louise made all at Uttoxeter last Saturday and is a previous course and distance winner. But she’s not exactly consistent and there is no guarantee she’ll be on her best behaviour for this quick reappearance. Mike Sowersby also run stout stayer Turtle Cask, who was second off this mark at Hexham last week though has twice finished behind Broadway Belle recently. Houndscourt has gone up 7lb for winning at Southwell but is still leniently treated on past form, though we’re inclined to take a chance on GREEN TIKKANA. Stepped up markedly in trip last time at Ayr, he was clearly suited and that run ties him in closely with a number of these.
