Verdict

Bollin Greta goes handicapping at a very modest level and is fancied to put this lot to the sword. Always Brave and Jemima's Art are respected in this company, while Carry On Cleo is at least consistent and would not have to find much to take a place in the frame. Jemima's Art is being kept busy and is not out faced in a race of this nature. She will handle the ground and should again run her race. Always Brave is on a handy mark and is also capable of getting involved in the shake up. Mark Johnston's charge is a big, burly individual and, as he is open to improvement at the trip, he cannot be discounted. However, Bollin Greta has a tad more to offer on these terms and, from a mark of just 64, this half-sister to the top class stayer Bollin Eric is too well treated to ignore on her handicap debut.
