Verdict
Not a strong race to begin proceedings but Jilly Why looks to have a fair opportunity to oblige at the expense of Hello Roberto and Mozakhraf. The filly has had a busy campaign this season but managed to finally get her head infront at the Curragh in August. Her all-weather record of 0 from 23 does not exactly inspire confidence but off this much lower rating, she could be worth one further go in the last chance saloon. Hello Roberto bounced back to form on the turf. A draw of 12 is not helpful but he is a finisher. Mozakhraf has struggled since victorious here in July but this is a moderate affair and he cannot be ruled out. Kempton specialist, Nautical is watched in the market for any signs of confidence. Bond Playboy has dropped to a competitive mark these days whilst Guildernstern has a modicum of ability but has been difficult to place. Plenty of possibles but we stick at minimal levels to Jilly Why.
