If there isn't too much rain Good Article should go close to following up a recent success, however we will take a chance with Haiti Dancer, Bubbling Fun and Will The Till are also worthy of a mention. Clive Cox's three-year-old is no stable star hence her low handicap mark. However unlike quite a few of the fancied contenders here she has gone well with a bit of cut in the ground. If the forecast rain arrives she will prove hard to beat from the foot of the handicap. Good Article was an impressive winner on good to firm at Lingfield last time and if handling the softer ground he should play his part. Bubbling Fun is a very well handicapped horse at present and will no doubt spring a surprise sooner or later. Meanwhile Will The Till could be the pick of the three Milton Bradley runners. It is a race where caution is advised, but Haiti Dancer does have strong claims and she gets a narrow vote.
