A wide open handicap hurdle here and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Whats A Filly, Day Du Roy and Kingkholer and the tentative vote is given to Whats A Filly. The selection looks to be on a handy mark and is sure to have come on for her latest run which saw her finish sixth behind Red Dahlia. This looks easier and she could go well at a tasty price. Day Du Roy rates the main danger on his best form as he is another that looks to be on a lenient mark but although he travels well he finds little off the bridle so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Kingkholer was a fair fourth behind Conroy last time, that form has since been franked and he is another with place claims but he is at his best when he is allowed to dominate and that does not look likely here so he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Once Seen is from a top yard and should be noted in the market but he disappointed last time out and can not be put forward with any confidence while Merryvale Man is on a handy mark but his best form is with more cut in the ground. This is a tough race to call and stakes should be kept to a minimum but for the winner we return to Whats A Filly.
