Verdict

A handicap over 11/4 miles and the choice is Dove Cottage ridden by Chris Catlin who ran really well in finishing 2nd of 17 behind Summer Bounty at Warwick.Other possibilities are Port'N Starbord who only got touched off by Land Of Dreams at Wolverhampton last month and Busy Man who improved to finsh 3rd of 14,running on well behind Justcallmehandsome here recently.But Dove Cottage is the selection to step up that last improved run.
