Verdict
CHICAMIA comes here after winning last time and is our selection, with King's Jester a potential danger after running reasonably at this course to finish third in May and Bed Fellow offered as an alternative in this opening race on the card. Our pick won last time out at Carlisle when beating Desert Hunter by a nose. She ran a good race and stayed on well that day and this was the first time she has managed to get on the score sheet. With a similar run here it could be enough to defeat the opposition. King's Jester remains an option after finishing two lengths behind the winner in his last appearance at this track. Although Bed Fellow did not run very well at Hamilton last time out over this trip, a previous close second at this course when just losing out to Sports Casual two races ago is enough to persuade us that he can challenge in this contest. However we go for Chicamia to follow up on a decent victory last time.
