Verdict
A poor contest that should concern Rare Coincidence, Burkees Graw and Sir Jasper, with the former taken to land the spoils. Roger Fisher's gelding has shown marked improvement following the transfer to the all-weather. His close up second to Lyrical Girl here last week is as good as any other form on show and he looks set to go one better. Of the others Burkees Graw does at least have winning form, a claimer at Ayr back in June, if he handles the surface he will be a big danger. Sir Jasper hails from a yard that does well in these type of events and has shown plenty of ability against slightly better class opposition. Another interesting contender is Posh Sheelagh who is expected to improve for her recent Southwell debut. This is not a race to get too involved in, but Rare Coincidence does appear to have the strongest claims.
