Nothing comes here in better form than Bonnie Rock but a further rise in the weights makes her look vulnerable and so preference is for Polly Whitefoot who runs this track well, with More Equity and Mini Minster rated as dangers. The selection has never run a bad race at this track and despite now being on a career high mark, she still looks to be competitive judging by his recent second over course and distance. Her jockey knows her well and with the ground to suit she should run another big race. Bonnie Rock steps out of novice company and is to be respected but this race is tougher and the fact that her pilot has only had one ride in public doesn't exactly instill confidence. Aberdare is very consistent but tends to find one too good, whilst Its Teescomponents let down backers last time out and hasn't quite produced over hurdles as of yet. Mini Minster and More Equity both come here on the back of recent wins and with confidence high each may play a major part, however we like the look of Polly Whitefoot at her favourite track.
