Verdict

Tango Cat came good at Ripon last time and can follow up at the expense of In Love. The beautifully-bred daughter of Tale Of The Cat has been allotted a mark of 80 for her efforts, which does not seem overly excessive and gives her a good chance of landing what has the look of a modest event. In Love has been raised four pounds for a narrow Ayr win but should still be competitive here, and although Irish import Glandore won at Killarney last July, her chance off topweight is not an obvious one. Kelpie is well weighted on her all-weather form but has failed to match it on grass. Cara Fantasy won her maiden well enough at this track but has been disappointing in two handicaps since, and Grand Folly has the odd bit of form that means she can't be ruled out of things in what, as we say, is a modest event. The balance of probability, then, leads us back to Tango Cat.
