Leftontheself is taken to land the opener at the expense of Zelos Girl and The Magic Rio. The selection improved from her debut at Nottingham to score second time of asking at Yarmouth last time out. She was sent off a short priced favourite that day and had obviously learnt a lot from her debut experience. What she actually beat remains to be seen but she has ability and looks a filly on the up grade. Zelos Girl is another for the short list after winning at Carlisle on her second outing. She again improved from her debut outing and will be worth keeping an eye on in the betting market. The Magic Rio has more race experience than most of her rivals winning two from eight starts. She is five pounds higher as a result of winning over course and distance recently which seems fair and is another horse that has the ability to be in the shake up once more. But for the winner we return to Leftontheshelf.
