Verdict
Penny's Crown gets the call here ahead of Starry Mary and Holly Walk. Penny's Crown is now just a pound above her Uttoxeter winning mark and looks competitive today. Starry Mary's form of eleven months ago gives her claims, while Ashgan made good late headway last time, but he has flattered to mislead before. Holly Walk would hold solid claims if getting back to last December's form, and Kiwi Riverman is one that should be watched in the betting. Sungio and Buz Kiri are among those that carry the tag of might-go-well and Southerncrosspatch is possibly better on less-demanding going so, for the selection, we return to Penny's Crown.
