A bad race and Another Genepi should be up to seeing off Elusive Warrior and Local Poet. Kevin Ryan's mare is put in at an attractive claiming tag and although it is something of a worry that her victories have only obtained at Wolverhampton in the past, it could be that she has too much class for these rivals. Elusive Warrior has to recover from a stinker last week and is not the heartiest of battlers in a finish. Local Poet makes a debut for Ollie Pears having campaigned previously with Ian Semple. Gifted Flame has had plenty of chances and failed. Obe One is completely out of form while the ex-Brian Smart trained, Chasing Memories, is a rare runner on the flat for the in-form Keith Goldsworthy. Another Genepi is not without problems but is the clear pick on the likelihood of being most able to hold her form.
