Verdict

For some reason Leicester seems to attract competitive sellers and this is no exception. Bilko Pak must surely win a small race sooner or later but is so closely matched with Paper Dreams on latest running when the pair were separated by a short head that it might be best to look elsewhere in the form on COOTEHILL LASS. She has already landed two selling contests here this season with her hold-up tactics and that course form swings things in her favour. Granny Anne has yet to win on turf and Captain Dimitrios is consistent but Goal looks a larger threat as he's capable over a variety of trips and continues to deliver a good account although he was at his most impressive this term when obliging on Fibresand.
