In depth
Verdict
Some unexposed three-year-olds on show here makes things tricky but the choice is Mister Trickster to lead the field home ahead of recent winner Our Little Rosie and the lightly-raced Glide. The selection has good course form from last season, has shown he handles a soft surface and looks to have a decent draw. Local trainer Robin Dickin is at the top of his game at present and his charge goes well for today's jockey Sasha Righton. Our Little Rosie put up one of her best performances at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and although this step back in trip is not sure to suit should still put up a good account of herself for another in-form trainer. Glide is the dark horse of the race having just three runs last season. Reported to have done well over the winter, market support will speak well for his chances but topweight and a poor draw may put paid to his chances. Mister Trickster, then, is the selection with Our Little Rosie the main danger.
