Verdict
Not much strength in depth to this one either with Pella given the call ahead of Scriptorium, Chara and Cheverak Forest. The selection is lightly raced and has to feature here based on her second to Freeloader at Kempton last time. Scriptorium hails from a very good stable, is also lightly raced and has form enough to feature also, while Chara won a Beverley handicap from just a pound lower mark in April and has claims again. Cheverak Forest has proven that he can win from today's mark, even if that success did come in a seller, so can also be given chances, and it might pay to watch the market with regard to the others even, as we say, a number of them have proven disappointing. Overall though, once again the vote goes to Pella.
