Verdict
Jacob's Pillow was third in a claimer over track and trip last week but this looks more competitive. Abi Scarlet has to go on the short-list as she's won eight times over course and distance, six times off higher marks than today's. But she's hasn't raced since May and usually needs a run to put her straight. SAVED MY BACON ran well behind Keep It Dark over 5f here last month and is equally effective at this trip. She is well drawn today and might be the one to beat, though Josephine Gordon's claim will help Llewellyn and Kenny The Captain is worth a market check as he's well treated on his form on Turf.
