It is not often you see a Martin Pipe runner at the foot of a class E handicap and there is probably a lot more to come from Wardash who is selected to beat Miss Lehman and Space Cowboy. Wardash comes here after taking a seller off a mark of 66. Although that doesn't sound too spectacular he did win it in very nice fashion. He took it up just after three out, injecting some pace, and never looked in danger thereafter. Nimble at his hurdles, this will have done his confidence a power of good. Space Cowboy landed some nice bets when just getting up at Fontwell last time. He still looks on a decent mark and will be hard to keep out of the money. However Miss Lehman could prove to be the main rival having landed two races very easily. She could still be ahead of the handicapper and looks certain to make a fight of it. However she does have to give plenty of weight to Wardash who is just preferred on this occasion.
