Verdict
Most of these are platers at best and it's a race that won’t take much winning. TAEL O' GOLD is well drawn and has been showing some improvement on Tapeta recently. She makes her Polytrack debut but has travelled down from Scotland for this. Booshbash was only beaten half-a-length over course and distance two runs ago but is 2lb higher. Charlie Chaplin has a squeak eased in grade but Echoism showed little on her handicap debut. Our Boy John and Ultimat Power may be best of the rest.
