Verdict
A typically trappy handicap for the lunchtime television punters. Neutron is sure to be popular with the McCoy/Pipe combination on view. He beat the terminally disappointing My Galliano here on a faster surface before getting stuck in the mud at Leicester last time out. His conqueror on that day was Ifrane Balina. He seeks a hat-trick today but the handicapper has taken note. Effusive was a little disappointing on debut for Jonjo O'Neill. His best form seemed to be on a faster surface when with Tommy Stack and the market must be watched. Wild Romance similarly had decent form in Ireland and but was highly tried on his first run for David Wintle at Cheltenham. Ashgan should find this trip too sharp today. The TEAMtalk selection is Caballe. Reunited with Mick Fitzgerald, she showed enough resolution in her recent win at Huntingdon to suggest that she is unafraid of a battle and could be value against the favourite.
