My Lady Link, Mary Macs Lad and Cody are three against the field in this wide open handicap and the narrow vote is given to My Lady Link. The selection won well last time out when beating Tell The Trees and although she has a penalty for that win she still looks well weighted and is taken to follow up here under conditions that suit. Mary Macs Lad rates the main danger on her latest second behind Muckle Flugga but the drop in trip is not sure to suit and for that reason she is passed over on this occasion. Cody is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Flintoff but that run only came two days ago and he may find this race coming a bit quick for him. Loscar is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best and in a tight affair for the winner we return to My Lady Link.
