Verdict
Division two of this handicap can go to Listen To Reason, who represents a yard back amongst the winners and is selected over the frustrating Sorbiesharry and Miss Glory Be, who are shortlisted as dangers. The last named is game on her day and arrives here in good heart for the task in hand. However, like Sorbiesharry, can never be relied upon to sun two races the same. Another that is also worth bearing in mind is Our Destiny, who has taken well to this surface and deserves a change of fortune after some near misses. Watch the betting where he is concerned. It is also the likelihood of a fair price that swings the vote towards Listed To Reason, who is still open to a fair amount of improvement. Tony Culhane has a 50 % strike-rate for James Given from the last fortnight and looks to have another well treated partner in Listen To Reason as he bids to expand on the statistic today.
