Verdict

Pink Harbour has been well placed by Ginger McCain to win four of her last six starts and looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to add to that tally with Myson and Cyanara rated her biggest dangers to her doing so. The handicapper will eventually catch up with the daughter of Rakaposhi King, who is now 25lbs higher than when scoring at Towcester in October. However, the six-year-old suggested when winning at Bangor last time that there was plenty more to come from her and in a race that lacks strength in depth she is hard to oppose. Cyanara won a beginners' chase at Newton Abbot in June and may have needed her first start since then when fourth behind L'Orphelin at the same venue last time. Philip Pritchard's mare rates a bigger threat than Ask The Umpire, who has run to a similar level of form of late. Simon Earle's Saucy Night is entitled to come on for her recent run behind the improved Follow The Flow at Hereford last time and is another to consider, along with Isam Top, who is well treated on hurdles form. Yesyes is probably better than he has shown of late and is another worthy of a mention along with the consistent Myson but Pink Harbour has an obvious chance on recent form and is taken to make it five from seven.
