Verdict
Mrs Crossy gets the vote here with Baytown Paikea and Diminuto rated as the main dangers. The selection was a little disappointing at Wolverhampton last time but she had previously won a claimer in good style at Kempton and if she can run up to that form today then she should take plenty of beating. Baytown Paikea rates the main danger as she has been running really well at this level and she managed to get her head in front at Yarmouth last time when she beat Tokyo Jo. She is clearly going the right way and should be capable of making the frame. Diminuto does have ability but she was well held by our selection last time and there is no obvious reason why the placings should be reversed today. Splendidio is an interesting runner from the Mick Channon yard and she is another to consider, but for the winner we will return to Mrs Crossy.
