Sir Mark Prescott has found a good opportunity here to get another win under the belt of KIND HEART, while Moggy, Bold Indian and Whipma Whopma Gate have frame claims. The last-named won a Newcastle seller over a mile last time when there was some cut in the ground, and would ideally prefer the rains to come here to get fully competitive again. Moggy ran well enough in context when beaten four lengths in a 10f handicap at the same track last month and showed that this is more like her level when runner-up in a seller prior to that. She should be involved again. Bold Indian will relish the fast ground but is far from certain to get home over this trip and a better proposition may be Phantom Serenade, who should get the trip and handles a sound surface. Even so, preference is for Kind Heart. The Red Ransom filly won at Southwell last year and this trip should be ideal for her. Her form is better than anything else in the contest, she looks well in now tried in a seller first time and despite having to prove she handles the ground we will side with her.
