It's on to the Polytrack for the remainder of the card. RANCHER gets the vote in this poor seller due to the paucity of the opposition as much as his own abilities. He was beaten seven lengths in a handicap at Salisbury last time but even that form might be good enough in this company. Ceekay's Girl has made the frame at Southwell though she never threatened the winner while Little Alice finished third on her debut over 7f and may do better over this longer trip along with Hail To Princess.
