KERRYS REQUIEM is a speculative selection at the expense of Desert Falls and White Shift. Mick Channon's charge has dropped some way down the handicap having rated in three figures in the past. She does appear to have become inconsistent but the booking of Tony Culhane suggests that there will be no lack of effort from the saddle. Desert Falls didn't run badly at Pontefract and could be gradually returning to some measure of form. White Shift has ran two stinkers at Newmarket but has ran well at this venue in the past. Come And Go takes a massive drop in trip. Caranbola has shown good form here in the past though appears not to have trained on. Suzie Quw won well at Haydock but that was on heavy going and today's conditions will be massively different. The Kyllachy King will need to reverse form with a couple of these rivals and the fast ground will not be a help. Bajan Tryst looked impressive earlier in the season but his recent outing at Newmarket beggared belief. Grissom steps up in grade having won gamely at Ayr. David Elsworth's horses are running well at present so watch the market to see if Devil You Know curries any favour. Kerrys Requiem is the pick.
