Verdict

Doubts about most of these and the small field does not make it an exciting betting opportunity though some value may be had in Grey Abbey who knows this track well and looks well treated on the form he has shown in the past. All ground comes alike to him. Barton, at his best would hold every chance but his performance last time out was below par for whatever reason and he can hardly be supported with confidence here. A Piece Of Cake has shown good bits of form in the past and copes with any surface. He needs to improve further on what he has shown but his trainer has a good course record and her horses seem to be running well now.
