Verdict

Living Leader won this last year and Bennelong scored back in 2014. Neither are in the greatest form but the former is now on his lowest-ever mark on his 71st start. Paco Filly was staying on over 7f when dropped into this lowly grade here early this month while Aye Aye Skipper came with a late run over this trip at Lingfield, though he's only 1-25 on the all-weather. ERTIDAAD scored on his debut for Suzi Best at Chelmsford in December but disappointed when favourite on a return visit a week later. That could have come too soon and he can get back to winning ways in this poor handicap. Jeremy's Jet hasn't been beaten far in his last two starts but has a career record of 0-26 but another maiden, Babette, has sunk to such a lowly mark that she has to be respected.
