Verdict
Possibly the trappiest race of the day to round of the action at Ffos Las. Hughie Morrison saddles a pair of runners in the shape of EJAYTEEKAY and Music Lesson , with both holding reasonable claims. The selection is feasibly treated and has won over this trip on soft ground in the past and did okay for this rider over a longer trip at Leicester latest. She wouldn't be an overly confident pick and others such as the consistent (but probably not as well handicapped) Lucky Louie couldn't be readily dismissed in an open race.
