Verdict
None of these have looked like winning recently though RUSALKA had excuses at Catterick last time when denied a clear run on more than once occasion - it could be her turn today. The Grey Bay has posted better efforts over 5f recently while Pull Harder Con has placed on the all-weather the last twice though never troubled the winner on either occasion. Speedymining and Amber Road may do better now handicapping with the latter preferred to stablemate Oribi.
