Worth A Grand gets a tentative vote over Eden Star, Preskani and Katie Killane in another very moderate contest. Worth A Grand is not much better than any of the others here in truth, but John Bridger's charge does at least have recent winning form to his name. That success came in a Folkestone seller over seven furlongs at the end of March, and although the drop back a furlong next time at the Kent track failed to reap dividends, the return to this lowly company should ensure that he play a leading role. Eden Star has been unplaced on his last two outings and is hard to fancy, while Preskani faded after making the running over seven furlongs at Southwell last time and will appreciate the drop down in distance. Katie Killane showed a modicum of ability despite hanging under pressure at Wolverhampton, and without being over confident, we return to Worth A Grand as the answer.
