Verdict

Smokey Lane, who has won here and from much higher marks, was engaged in the 5.10 at Windsor yesterday. Quirky Gertie won on soft going at Lingfield in July and was only beaten a head in heavy ground at Hamilton last week. Elzaam's Dream won a seller on her debut here in June but looked better than plating class when beaten narrowly in a handicap at Ffos Las in August. A chance is taken with MISS LIBERTY BELLE, who stayed on late to snatch the spoils at Chelmsford. She's never raced on this sort of ground but is looking well enough handicapped. Hey Ho Let's Go has run his best races on soft ground so conditions won't be a problem.
