A highly competitive claimer with numerous horses with chances including Ladruca, Zolash, Ahaz, Muestra and Joe Ninety with the vote going to the last named. Joe Ninety comes from a yard in good form with limited ammunition and although beaten a fair way in selling company at Windsor last time out showed enough to warrant a chance on his penultimate run at Redcar when finishing a decent third. Stable mate Zolash steps down in grade and trip but was beaten a long way in maiden company at Yarmoth last time out and may be best watched today. Ladruca is another who drops down in grade and will more than likely be sent off favourite but lacks experience and that might tell today. Ahaz and Muestra are two others with good enough form to take a race of this nature and will be worth following in the market. But for the winner we return to Joe Ninety.
