Verdict

This is probably the most wide open race on the card, and marginal preference is for URSULA, ahead of Where's Reiley and Blown It. However, we wouldn't be surprised whatever were to come home first. Karl Burke's filly will appreciate whatever rain has come, as in her short career to date, she's done best with some juice in the ground; indeed she won in testing conditions at Haydock last year in her second race, since when she's been placed in her one other outing, when making her handicap debut. The yard's in fine form, the draw shouldn't be a problem, and the slight step down in trip looks to be a positive. Blown It was third of six here last month over this trip on handicap debut, and should be able to win at this sort of level, but connections may have expected more after he lost his maiden tag third time out. Where's Reiley was well held in a better race than this last time out, but a return to six furlongs may pay dividends. It looks competitive, but we'll side with Ursula.
