Another chance is given to Priti Fabulous ahead of Sarah Park, Shindy and Stormbeam. Priti Fabulous was made favourite at Newbury having won her handicap bow at Kempton in the style of a progressive horse but failed to pick up on the soft ground and finished well held. She may be able to atone for that defeat on this faster surface. Shindy ran a fair race on her handicap bow and may have more to offer as may Stormbeam who ran well despite being very weak in the market at Windsor. The concern with Gerard Butler's runner is that he didn't appear to be entirely straightforward so the jury is still out. There are no such concerns with Sarah Park but this appears to be a stronger handicap than the one she landed at Nottingham and a penalty may be enough to anchor her here. Competitive fare, Priti Fabulous is the call.
