Verdict
Bollin Judith should benefit for a return to fast ground but might have fitness to prove so instead we turn to MILDOURA, who looks fairly treated, while According is interesting based on his French form. Now rated just a pound above his last winning mark the pick has placed on his last two runs. He was well held last time off this handicap weight he looks to have a chance on ground that should suit. Bollin Judith was an easy winner on fast ground off a low looking mark at Redcar before running well on unsuitable conditions the last time we saw her. Based on that earlier run she's still competitive but off this rating so she should be in the mix. According has plenty of winning form in France but flopped on his only start over jumps for his present yard. He may be better now back on the level but the ground might be a little quick. Perfect Shot was solid on his reappearance run and likes this track so should show up but Mildoura now looks well-weighted and can go in.
