Betty Burke caught the eye when second at Chepstow last time out and can improve once again to land this at the expense of Rathmolyon and Safari Time. The selection finished in behind hot pot Edge Of Gold at Chepstow last time out and in the process gave the winner a run for his money. Harry Dunlop has done well in his first eighteen months with a license and can add to that tally here. Rathmolyon ran a personal best when second at Bath over one furlong further last time out and once again in similar grade he has to be respected. Saari Time ran second in a modest contest at Lingfield on his debut. It was a satifactory run but more will be needed this time around so for the winner we return to Betty Burke.
