In depth
Verdict
Another race in which many can be given chances on there best form. Scary Night was a good second behind Blonde En Blonde last time out, that form has since been franked and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close. However his best form is over a longer trip. Ladies Knight was a good second behind Park Star last time out. However she has risen in the weights for that effort and this looks a tougher race. Whinhill House was third in the same race, but is better off at the weights with Ladies Knight. So there will not be much between them. Forest Rail is from a yard in top form, and he is well weighted on his best form. However he has a long absence to overcome. Double Assembly was behind Scary Night last time and there is no reason why he should reverse placings on the same terms. Of the remainder Frantic Annie is well in on her best form and her stable is beginning to find some form after a quiet spell.
