Verdict
Sendintank has been profitable to follow of late and is duly expected to land a hat-trick here at the expense of Kentucky Bullet, Spanish Star and Bella Pavlina. The money was down in earnest on Sendintank at Wolverhampton nine days ago, and the Stuart Williams-trained four-year-old did not let his supporters down as he proceeded to defy a 179-day absence to land a morning gamble. It was then no surprise that he was able to defy a six-pound penalty when following up over today's course and distance six days ago, once again under Brian Reilly. For this amateur riders' event, he has the services of the very able Simon Walker, and in his current mood, is hard to oppose. Kentucky Bullet looked as though he was returning to form when third in a similar contest to this here just over a fortnight ago, and should appreciate the extra furlong. He should uphold that form with Spanish Star who was fourth and is a pound worse off now. Of the rest, Bella Pavlina is another that will not mind the extra distance after her running-on win at Wolverhampton eight days ago. Carol Williams always seems to be involved in the finish of these type of races, so expect a bold show from Faraway Look as well. However, he has to give weight away to Sendintank here and that is a pretty tough task to say the least.
