This lowly seller isn't a contest to get too excited about, but if forced to have a positive opinion, we'd side with POSITIVE OPINION, in preference to Silent Treatment and Missus Christie. Positive Opinion will be happy dropping down in distance after 3 runs at 7 furlongs, when although not in contention, was far from totally outclassed. She also drops down a grade. Barry Millman's got among the best strike rates here, although so too has Gaye Kellaway, who sends out Silent Treatement. He's previously only raced over the minimum trip, but did win last time out on the all weather here. Trying to make all may be the tactics again. Missus Christie won at Haydock on debut over this trip in a claimer, but then couldn't step up a grade so drops down again and will no doubt have supporters. But our pick of a moderate bunch is Positive Opinion.
