Verdict
It will be interesting to see if the warmer weather arrives ahead of this meeting and if the ground dries, however, DREAM OF OLWYN is our selection ahead of Grethel and I'm In The Pink. James Given has booked Serena Brotherton aboard the recent Nottingham winner and as she is proven on any surface, we have no worries in that regard. Grethel never threatened at Pontefract on her latest start but she is capable of winning a race of this nature and she will be in off a light racing weight. I'm In The Pink ran far better than his finishing position suggests at Chepstow and is less exposed than most. Hucking Heat needs help from the handicapper. Kirsty's Lad finished strongly in a similar event at Beverley last week though again will be significantly wrong at the weights. Prince Golan is arguably better over shorter and for the winner, we return to Dream Of Olwyn.
