Verdict
The value could lie with GARRA MOLLY here as she benefits from a 12lb swing with Bollin Greta from their clash at Pontefract last time and Alan Swinbank's lightly raced filly can overcome her lack of experience which contributed to her running very green in the closing stages last time and land this. Bollin Greta, who won that Pontefract contest will relish this additional two furlongs. A half-sister to the 2002 St Leger winner Bollin Eric, she is another that is lightly raced and could well still be improving. She had to be driven along over three furlongs from home last time but to her credit answered her riders every call and is a filly going the right way. Rutba refused to enter the stalls at Kempton last time but looks to be progressing quickly. Monterrico an all-weather maiden winner in March was badly outpaced at a crucial point and this 1m 6f trip should benefit him. Lemonesse and Mr Crystal are others that would have each way chances but Garra Molly is given the vote.
