A dire affair in which punters are asked to compare lightly raced sorts with a number of professional losers and Pain In The Neck is begrudgingly selected ahead of Staceymac and Newkeylets. Pain In The Neck has a reasonable draw and having had a run since a gelding operation, there is every chance that he has now got the hang of the racing game. Staceymac has an appalling draw to work from but there was enough shown at Lingfield to suggest that she has a race within her compass. Newkeylets has always threatened to win races but invariably finds little after travelling with plenty. Make My Dream has a whole host of seconds to her name but has squandered chances here from decent draws. Kissi Kissi is dropped in trip having been unsuccessful over further. Bond Puccini was reported as finishing lame on his latest start so is avoided. Left Nostril is completely exposed and rates the benchmark for this affair. Pain In The Neck is the selection in a race that will live short in the memory.
