Verdict

A couple have a chance if on a going day, but such occasions have not been easy to predict of late for such as Letsbe Avenue and Arbennig. In contrast, Elmount has proved consistent at Class 5 level since joining Alistair Ralph but has enough on his plate off topweight and may find the concession of 13lb to the rejuvenated FLASH GORCOMBE too demanding. The latter has suddenly found a new jolt of form under Paul O'Brien and can hopefully complete the three-timer on good ground - his last two successes have come on ground with cut, He's up 12lb for his two wins but still looks the one to beat. Miladygrace has failed to finish in two of her six starts for this yard, but has performed really well on the other four and should be in the shake-up granted a clear round.
