In depth
Verdict
This is a very weak claimer, and could easily rest between the relatively unexposed pair, Regal Repose and Love On Request. The former is just preferred, with Charles Cyzer's horse not entirely disgraced when sixth of seven in a decent Bath maiden last time. Although that form is hardly inspiring, in the context of this race he would not have to improve very much to play a big part. Love On Request showed plenty of promise on her sole juvenile start, but has shown nothing in two starts this term and the drop to this grade is hardly an encouraging move. The rest look decidedly moderate, but Fairly High ran reasonably well off a mark of 58 in a Windsor Handicap last time and might just be good enough to reach the frame.
