Frimley's Mattery, Desert Opal and Missperon are the three to look at here with Frimley's Mattery taken to follow up a win at Redcar on Sunday. Desert Opal won on the all weather at Wolverhampton but hasn't won since, although he did show signs of a return to form at Nottingham last time where he was noted staying on at the finish. A winner at Southwell in February, Missperon has not won since but her second to Frimley's Mattery at Redcar was a good effort, run out of it close home and she re-opposes on six pound better terms here. Frimley's Mattery came through late under Michael Stainton and won with a little more in hand than the neck margin would indicate. He had earlier finished second to Compton Plume in a race that is working out well and Frimley's Mattery can uphold the form on inferior terms.
