A dire contest to commence proceedings when the mudlarks should come to the fore and on that basis we'll take Call Me Sir to score. The selection has never won but has run some respectable races when the ground is soft or heavy. Sue Gardner does well with some moderate runners and she may have finalyl found a race that this gelding can win. Pips Assertive Way makes some appeal as a track winner but conditinos are against him and the trip will stretch him to the max. Boysterous has been contesting stronger races than this, which is hardly a surprise, and does stay forever, but is unproven on the ground, and like most of these is not an attractive betting proposition. Daramoon at least comes here in a bit of form and can go close if handling the ground, but this is a truly horrendous contest and only because we have to give a selection we will proffer Call Me Sir.
