Verdict

Off The Record, Pusey Street Lady and Heywood are shortlisted in this handicap and the vote is given to Pusey Street Lady. The selection arrives here in top form and she bids to land the hat-trick in this contest. She won on her handicap debut last time at Nottingham when she beat My Love Thomas with a bit in hand and with this in mind we feel she can go in again. Off The Record is an obvious danger as he beat some experienced sprinters at Southwell last time and off the back of that effort he has to be considered a leading player here today. Heywood is dropped in class but his best form is on a slightly faster surface. El Soprano will probably need the run and we are happy to stick with Pusey Street Lady who can win again.
