In depth

Verdict

A tough handicap can go to Piri Piri, who is holding her form well enough for her to get the nod over Carrowdore and Wellington Hall, who will not make life easy for the selection if they run up to form. The same comments apply to Jackie Kiely, whose latest run was obviously not a true reflection of his ability and is best ignored for those willing to give him another throw of the dice. He is a previous course and distance winner but may struggle to confirm the form with Welcome Signal on these terms. Wellington Hall also ran a shocker last time and, although his trainer blamed his performance on him being unsuited to the track at Brighton, the way he dropped out was alarming, and he is not one to be rushing in with in the hope that he can redress the balance today. Which brings us back to Piri Piri, who is much more consistent than her wins to runs ratio would have you believe. The four-year-old loves this time of year and, as she finds herself back on the same mark as when successful at Folkestone last August, everything looks to have come up trumps at the right time to expect another bold bid from Piri Piri here.
