Verdict
A 7lb rise looks like scuppering the chances of Six Wives in an attempt to follow up her recent C&D win and she's joined Scott Dixon's yard since along with Even Stevens. The latter beat MONSIEUR JAMIE here last month but John Jenkins' sprinter is better off at the weights today and fancied to reverse running. He gets the nod in a tight sprint, though Mount Hollow beat Sleepy Blue Ocean over 6f at this track before the last named won here himself with Mottley Crewe and Captain Scooby behind.
