In depth
Verdict
Go Classic is well treated at the weights and has to be respected but has been off the track for the best part of three months and preference is for Fire Ranger, who gets the vote ahead of Go Green. The last mentioned ran with credit in similar grade when third at Ludlow last month and has since won in a seller back on the flat so has to be respected. Seejay starts off her hurdling career at a realistic level and cannot be discounted although of more interest may be Wyoming, who had a confidence boosting success in a claimer on the level a month ago. Lucy Wadham's Princess Pea is interesting dropped in grade but preference is for Fire Ranger, who returned to form when chasing home useful yardstick Kings Castle at Newton Abbot last time and a reproduction of that effort may well suffice.
