    Verdict

    Rod Millman's Ocean Blaze has struggled in three starts since winning a Bath claimer in June and is likely to do so again in a race taken to go to ASK JENNY, who gets the vote ahead of Our Piccadilly. The last mentioned has shown improved form in recent starts, finishing a close up fourth behind Brynfa Boy at Epsom last month on her most recent start and she has every chance racing off the same mark today. John Portman's Bathwick Xaara has been running creditably well but could probably do with some help from the handicapper, while David Arbuthnot's Night Affair is capable but is probably better over six furlongs than the minimum that she races over today. The same cannot be said of Ask Jenny though as she was a well held third of four over six furlongs at Yarmouth last time but had won over five at Bath for Patrick Morris previously and she can resume winning ways.
