Verdict
Punters must make certain reassessments if the rain continues to fall on the region. Bus Named Desire, for example, has shown all her best on good ground and her participation is almost certainly dependent on her scheduled performance in the last race on the Friday card here and the state of the ground. She hasn't looked entirely straightforward to date but is on the upgrade and should play a leading role if turning up on successive days. Hi Bronco and MASTER CARDOR VISA were one-two at Fontwell last time and placings should be confirmed says the formbook but that was the latter's first run for almost a year and, if not 'bouncing,' Emma Baker's charge can go close to a first career success with that run under his belt. Patricktom Boru has some very mixed form figures but landed a Ffos Las chase quite comfortably when last seen. He demands respect as he operates here off a mark of 83, 9lb less than his current chase rating.
