Rowan Pursuit has run well off a similar mark to today's in each of her last four starts and is taken to gain a deserved success at he main expense of Vizulize and Jahia. The last mentioned has been in good form recently but that has been in banded stakes races and, while not a particularly hot contest, this represents a step up in class for Tony Carroll's mare. The handicapper has given My Lilli a chance off her lightweight and Philip Mitchell's mare has to be respected along with Vizulize. The latter is another representing the stable of Tony Carroll that has had such a good time with their runners this winter and has herself been in good form although there is a suspicion that she is better at Wolverhampton. Littleton Zephir and Ryan's Bliss are others worthy of a mention but Rowan Pursuit remains on a handy mark and she gets the vote to resume winning ways.
