This is quite competitive for a Class 5. Take Centre Stage placed twice at the start of the year in similar company and Cowboy Cooper has been fairly consistent but WHAT A STEAL may be worth another try over a longer trip with the ground drying out. The booking of Brian Hughes is another positive. Maillot Blanc has placed three times since winning at Hereford in January and Watchoutitscookie is in good form while Maisie Too wears cheekpieces on her handicap debut. Chumlee won by 10 lengths at Newcastle but that was on heavy going.
