In the final analysis, in an interesting race, Penang Cinta is favoured over Perfect Order and Hi Dancer. Wensleydale Lad's form is modest overall, even though the winner of his most recent race won well on Tuesday. Appreciated also has something to prove although he races in first-time blinkers today. Inaminute has won two of her last three races and, even though they have come in selling and claiming company, she is worth a try at this level. Unsurprisingly, Penang Cinta improved for the step up to seven furlongs last time and the further step up to a mile should help again. He is respected. Perfect Order ran her best race yet over course and distance last time and, with the form having been franked since, she is very much one to consider. The five-pounds rise for Hi Dancer's course and distance win last time - on which Chicherova looks held - rates as fair, so she could go well, while Cool Isle is closely weighted with Inaminute on January 26th seven-furlong course form. Finally, working through Katie Lawson formlines - admittedly based on course and distance and seven-furlong Wolverhampton form - Penang Cinta and Subsidise are very closely weighted, while Cool Isle looks held. The beauty of the form book, eh? Hopefully, Penang Cinta will prove to be the beauty in the eye of the form book holder.
