Verdict

A handicap that really needs the word 'selling' in front of it, however something has to win it and preference is for Kiwi Princess. This really is dire and anything could win, however the selections best performance to date came here at Musselburgh. She hasn't really impressed since but Joe Fanning looks an interesting jockey booking and she might be able to get off the mark now returned to seven furlongs. The market could play an important part here, and how it speaks about handicap debutantes Personal Choice and Trojan Hero may alter any betting plans. Low Flyer didn't take to the blinkers last time and they dispense of those today. He's evidently no star but if he's well-backed then it may pay to take notice, whilst Molly Ann is another who goes au natural today. Saafend Geezer is yet another in the race whose attitude has been called into question and he ran a moderately promising race last time, but that was in a seller and he needs to improve. A race best forgotten, with Kiwi Princess the selection.
