Chesnut Annie, Busy Isit and Gurteenoona are the three against the field with the vote going to the last named. Ian Williams has his team in good form at present and Gurteenoona has the best form on offer having finished second of fourteen on his debut at Taunton. He is entitled to improve from that run as he looked green so is worth siding with. Chesnut Annie improved from her debut outing at Hereford to finish third at Ludlow last time out. She ought to run well again. As will Bust Isit who has run well and won in a couple of point to points so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Gurteenoona.
