Verdict
Wunderbra catches the eye here and gets the verdict, with Westborough and Aliba the two most likely to chase her home. The selection was a little green but ran with plenty of promise at Folkestone on her debut behind Petite Rose. She looked to be getting the hang of things towards the end of that race and with nominal improvement she should be good enough to see off her rivals here. Westborough was given a patient ride at Carlisle last time but never made much of an impact in the race behind Feu Duty. He had run well previously at Newcastle and could be interesting now that he is upped in trip. Aliba has shown plenty of ability in all of his starts to date and he makes plenty of appeal here, while Osla showed a good attitude on her debut at Nottingham and she will benefit from the extra furlong. This is a race which will not take a great deal of winning, but Wunderbra sets a fair standard and she is taken to score.
