Verdict
This is undoubtedly Easy Terms' easiest task to date this season and she's now 2lb lower than her last winning mark. Rio's Rosanna is beginning to run out of excuses while Tapis Libre had every chance at Pontefract last week, though may have needed the run. Hunting Ground was well beaten over a longer trip here last time while Open Eagle has had a few months off but Kiwayu was in fine form before his break and has been much improved this year. We'll take a chance on LAST SHADOW, who had a run over hurdles earlier this month. He's only a couple of pounds higher than his win at Windsor last year and Jonjo O'Neill has a terrific strike rate with his runners on the Flat.
