Verdict

A typically ordinary seller where Pequenita looks likely to be the answer from Shamwari Fire and No Looking Back. The selection is rated 69 based on four runs to date, the best of which was when second to Leporello at Lingfield, though he has been well beaten since. However, if he runs to his ability at these weights and over an extra furlong and a half, which is likely to suit, then he can score. Shamwari Fire is rated 8lb inferior to the selection and also has to carry 5lb more here, so he should have much to do, but can claim a place against some very moderate rivals. Tim Easterby has booked Kevin Darley for the mount of No Looking Back, but on what he has achieved so far he wouldn't look good enough to win the contest. However, his trainer is a very shrewd customer and the gelding's form with Sir Night, who ran well at Nottingham on Monday, looks good enough to make the frame. We will stay on the right side of the ratings selection though and go with Pequenita.
