DARKSIDEOFTARNSIDE ran at Uttoxeter last month just five days after a smooth victory on heavy going at Chepstow and failed to give his true running. He’s had a nice break since and Neil Mulholland’s charge looks the one to beat in this under an experienced amateur. Pour Une Raison seeks to follow up last month’s course and distance success but will need to defy an 8lb rise. Goodgirlteresa should strip fitter for her run at Chepstow and Katies Escape is having only her second run in a handicap but needs more.
