A very weak seller and we will give the confident vote to The Wife's Sister, Clifford T Ward and Mickey Pearce could be the main rivals. The Wife's Sister has already been successful in this grade and wasn't disgraced last time in what appeared to be a better race. With most of these showing very little by the way of form she should be capable of regaining the winning thread. Ginger McCain trains Clifford T Ward and he also used to handle The Wife's Sister and so he should know how the land lies with that rival. However this one does have about forty lengths to make up on the selection, but the fact that Ginger is taking this one on suggests he is better than what he showed on that occasion. Mickey Pearce usually runs his race and although only modest, he could be capable of making the frame. The rest make very little appeal and so it shouldn't be too difficult a task for The Wife's Sister who is the obvious form choice.
