        Verdict

        A typically tricky low-grade handicap where not too many of the field are noted for consistency. However, it may be prudent to allow Ambitious Annie the chance to prove herself again and the daughter of Most Welcome is just preferred over the frustrating Averio, whose task is made harder by a 7lb penalty today. Others to consider are Kentucky Bullet and Nakwa, whose best form gives them solid place claims here. Whereas a synopsis of the remainder confirms that not too many of the rest can be confidently expected to give their running; even at this level. So a watchful eye on the betting market will give the best indication as to which horses have been showing enough at home to merit an each way interest. Therefore, the search for reliability brings us back to Ambitious Annie, who is at least holding her form at present. A note of caution would be that she is still only on a rating of 40 despite being 4lb higher than for her course and distance success from last month. But, in a race that will not take much winning, Ambitious Annie can reward those who keep faith her today.
