Verdict

PALENVILLE is a speculative selection in an unappealing handicap. She’s been thereabouts for Simon Crisford over 7f recently and it could be her turn today dropping down in trip. Semana Santa was second here back in August and will have come on for a recent comeback at Southwell while Savannah Beau won over track and trip in November but has failed to figure off today’s mark since. Dodgy Bob has been back on a winning mark for some time now and finally posted a decent effort when a close-up fourth at Southwell recently.
