Verdict
Mr Pertemps has been in a bit of form of late and should go close, with Alizar, Lady Protector and Playful Spirit the main dangers. Mr Pertemps was fancied at Wolverhampton four days ago, but despite battling his heart out, failed to get past Time N Time Again. Nevertheless it was an honest effort by the six-year-old who does tend to save his best for this time of the year, and he will not mind the drop back in trip. The three-year-old Alizar receives weight all round enters calculations on her course victories in the past. She joined Simon Dow after winning at Lingfield 12 days ago and should give new connections some fun as long as she is not highly tried. Lady Protector made all to land a very moderate event here before failing abysmally to follow up at Wolverhampton. She might just reach the frame, while her stablemate Playful Spirit is another to consider for place purposes. Overall though, the one with the best claims is Mr Pertemps.
