Verdict

Princess Gail scored over 7f here in January but was a disappointing odds-on favourite on her latest start, while Goal's recent improvement has been at Southwell and he beat today's rival Trojan Touch at that track last time. Beating Harmony has been running well both here and at Kempton without success and so the vote goes to BERTIE BLU BOY. He's improved with every start culminating in a close-up fifth behind Crossword at this track a fortnight ago and Paul Green's charge is taken to find the slight improvement needed to take this contest.
