Verdict
An uninspiring handicap to say the least. EXCLUSIVE DIAMOND won at Leicester last week and may defy a penalty given today’s modest opposition. Ronya won at Redcar last month but a 4lb rise proved beyond her last time and the remainder are even harder to fancy. Intensified was fourth at Beverley recently but has yet to win in 29 starts while Bollihope has yet to win a handicap and looks no nearer doing so based on recent evidence.
