Verdict

Rothesay Dancer, Misphire and Linda Green are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Linda Green. The selection has dropped to a handy mark and ran as if about to hit form last time out when fourth behind Our Faye. This looks easier and under conditions that suit she looks a value bet. Rothesay Dancer rates the main danger on his latest second behind Melalchrist but he has never won off a mark this high and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Misphire was a fair third behind Pick A Nice Name last time and is another with place claims but he looks vulnerable under top weight. Of the remainder Katie Boo is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but she looks weighted up to her best and with this in mind for the winner we return to Linda Green.
