Verdict
Glenviews Youngone is taken to get the better of Sandwith and Jimmy The Guesser in this wide open handicap. The selection remains unexposed and she won with plenty in hand at Wolverhampton last time when beating Fantasy Explorer. She looks a progressive filly and is taken to get her head in front again. Sandwith won well last time on his first run for trainer Ian Semple when beating Imperial Sword and although he has had his problems in the past he looks to be going the right way now. Jimmy The Guesser was a little disappointing at Haydock last time but he will definitely have ground conditions to his liking today and that should see him in a better light. Rainbow Bay looked in need of the run last time and he could do better today as he remains open to plenty of improvement, but for the winner we are happy to return to Glenviews Youngone.
