Verdict
With the exception of Currency's win in a seller, recent form is thin on the ground so it may be worth chancing the long absent Hennalaine. Peter Winkworth is enjoying a good run of form at present and his filly wouldn't need to improve too much on the form of her sole start at two for Paul Cole to emerge as a leading player in this company. The draw, her absence and lack of experience are all negatives but this may not take a great deal of winning. Who's Winning is weighted to go well and drops in grade following a modest effort in a Goodwood handicap but he needs to rediscover his form. Music Box Express has done most of his racing on the all-weather but has claims on the pick of his efforts and the market may speak volumes. Inwaan is another to bear in mind as Paul Webber and Chris Catlin combined for two winners at Warwick last Thursday and he may have been freshened up by a break. Midnite Blews was well behind Currency last time but is another with claims strictly on official ratings. There are few with solid claims and we'll take Hennalaine to make her seasonal reappearance a winning one.
