Kerrys Requiem gets the vote here from Misty Glade although there are several interesting newcomers going to post. Mick Channon's juveniles weren't in the same blistering form as they are now when the selection made her debut at Warwick and she's expected to leave her debut form behind. She raced a shade keenly that day but looked the part and can put the experience to good use whilst the winner of the race is distinctly useful. Misty Glade can also be expected to improve considerably on the form of her run at Nottingham and the market should be informative with respect to that pair's chances and those of the newcomers. Not surprisingly, Richard Hannon has a good record in this race and it's difficult to split his pair at this stage although Elusive Wave is the better drawn of the pair. Ed Dunlop sent out a newcomer to win impressively at York and Azwa is from the first crop of the high class Haafhd who was a smart juvenile performer in his day. They look a useful bunch on paper and Kerrys Requiem can only be a nominal choice.
