Verdict

A race in which many have chances and Straffan is preferred to A Teen and Firework. Straffan ran well in a recent seller off weight terms were distinctly against him; and as he is better over six furlongs, the reluctant hero may consent to put it all in. A Teen has dropped dramatically down the ratings of late but has run well at this venue in the past and would be of interest should the punters get involved. Firework is moderate although is in some semblance of form. Lingfield specialist, Developer, was racing in the 70's at the beginning of the year so has been handed a big chance by the assessor at this level. Drury Lane might be better over further while course winner, Sundried Tomato, is on something of a losing run at the moment and is probably best watched. Boisdale tries for new connections after a six month absence. One of the better races on the card and a chance for Straffan to score over a trip that is likely to suit.
