Verdict
A weak affair in which BIDABLE makes the most appeal versus Castle Myth and Dr Jameson. Bryn Palling's charge is something of a regular in low grade events and the handicapper has not sought to punish her for another placed effort over course and distance last month. Castle Myth seems much more consistent since the combination of cheekpieces and blinkers have been tried. He is still yet to win in 13 starts. Dr Jameson has dropped substantially down the weights and returns to the flat having cut no ice over hurdles. Marmooq has run well at this venue in the past off higher marks so it would be folly to discount him in such a weak affair. Mighty Mover will do well to defy a 5lb rise for beating our selection while Alan Bailey's team landed a gamble last week so Gifted Heir is one to note despite some modest recent form. Bidable looks the best option in a race where few make much appeal at all.
