Verdict
PECULIAR PLACES is a rare runner here for the Greatrex team but has every chance if delivering a clear round. He's shown useful form in the context of this race on both outings since a wind operation and looked to be going perfectly well when coming to grief late on at Stratford. He handles the forecast ground effectively. Katy Royal has appeared far from straightforward on occasions in that she has to be held up for as long as possible but she'll enjoy conditions and is a major threat to the selection in receipt of her 7lb sex allowance. Stormy Milan is an interesting raider for Charlie Longsdon and has shown enough ability in three starts to suggest he has a future, whilst Bobbie The Dazzler is also worth a mention in view of her point-to-point promise and receiving weight all round.
