Minaash, Stir Crazy and Top Tier are the three to take out of this race with the vote going to the last named. Top Tier has a nice racing weight to carry and has been in good form of late also. She managed to win back to back races over course and distance and in the process improving from selling company to handicap company. She looked exposed at Lingfield last time out but back at her favourite course she is one to stay on the right side of. Stir Crazy won on his penultimate start and was not disgraced last time out so any market moves should be noted. The same can be said for Minaash who carries top weight after his Lingfield success and can be forgiven his poor Chester performance as he was badly drawn and was soon beaten that day. But for the winner we return to Top Tier.
