Verdict

Di Stefano comes out bets at the weights but hasn't won for nearly two years now and Jigajig is struggling to get his head back in front after winning three times last year. Highland Warrior scored at Beverley last time and has the best recent form, but has to concede weight to LESLEY'S CHOICE. He bounced back to form when third at Hamilton a week ago and scored over C&D the last time he raced in this grade. Linda Perratt's sprinter gets the nod here with the remainder hard to fancy.
