Verdict

LEELU found only one too good on the Polytrack last time but handles soft ground and can race off a 5lb lower mark today. She gets the nod ahead of Jackie Love and Imjin River, also placed on the all-weather recently. Athaakeel pops up when he's in the mood but it's anybody's guess when that will be while C&D winner Mucky Molly could be thereabouts back at this track. Rainbow Riches also goes well here but today's ground is a worry for her.
