In the seller, Mister Completely gets the call over Tancred Miss, Countrywide Girl and Bulawayo. Mister Completely has never raced on this surface but, if able to reproduce his last run, which saw him beat subsequent winner Delcienne at Bath, then he must have a very good chance. Sea Ya Maite is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but is a light of his 2001 self these days so Tancred Miss, four pounds higher in the weights than when winning over seven furlongs here two runs ago, and Countrywide Girl, a Wolverhampton winner off a four-pound lower mark three runs ago, might provide stiffer challenges for the selection. Much as Bulawayo has done most of his winning at Wolverhampton, he has run well here and has form enough to be in the shake-up at this lowly level and a market move for Grand Lass, who is dropped to a mile here after having been campaigned mainly over 12 furlongs recently, a trip over which he has course form, might be interesting. Overall, though, we are happy to stick with Mister Completely.
