OLIVIA R posted her best effort yet when beaten only a nose over 6f here on her first start for Les Eyre’s yard. She may prove the one to side with in this. Bobby Joe Leg won over track and trip in January and went close again here last month while Ghathanfar scored here in September and will be sharper for a recent comeback run. Rich Approach won off a similar mark here last year and there should be more to come from Scottish Blade this term debuting for new connections having been gelded since last in action.
