Verdict

Modest fare with the weights headed by The Game Is A Foot who hadn't shown much before a much-improved display to gain a decisive 10l success at Plumpton on Monday. A 7lb penalty takes him to 12-5 but a repeat of that performance would see him go close. Poetic Power also was another to show far more than previously when springing a surprise at Uttoxeter last time and will also be in the mix if able to back up that effort. FINMERELLO remains a maiden under Rules but there's a chance she can land that elusive victory as she usually gives her running and receives weight from the aforementioned pair. My Nosy Rosy looks exposed, So Cheeky is hard to assess whilst Fair Breeze has place claims despite a 0-14 career record over timber.
