Verdict

Little separating the principals in a tight betting heat and marginal preference is for Brilliant Red while Northside Lodge and Peace rate as the main dangers. Jamie Poulton's charge is now well in to the veteran stage of his racing career but has shown that he retains plenty of enthusiasm for the game and put up a particularly good effort when narrowly failing to catch a useful yardstick over this course and distance late last month. The 10-year-old remains well treated on the pick of his form and is taken to swoop late under Ian Mongan. Northside Lodge is not the easiest to predict but has strong claims on a close second in similar company at Leicester last time out. The James Fanshawe yard continues in excellent form and the well-bred Peace opened her account in pleasing fashion at Nottingham last time. The Sadler's Wells filly is open to plenty of improvement but Brilliant Red has the form in the book and can take the honours.
