Verdict

Linda Green is selected to follow up, with Garnock Venture, Princess Kai, Peters Choice and He's A Rocket expected to figure. Having had a break since leaving Robin Bastiman, it was thought that Linda Green might need her first outing for Paul Blockley at Southwell last month, especially as the stable had one or two coughing. So, it was with a sigh of relief that the filly came back with a bang to open her account under regular pilot Dean McKeown, and she does not look badly treated. He's A Rocket is due to go up the weights shortly and also lines up on the back of a recent win, at Folkestone, where his 50-1 starting price was a surprise to Christine Dunnett who fancied him. He was claimed by Karl Burke afterwards and should pick up the odd race or two at this level. Garnock Venture is a bit in and out along with the rest of his stablemates at present but could easily take a hand on his best form, while Princess Kai and Peters Choice have enough ability to warrant a mention. For the winner we return to Linda Green.
