Verdict
MOLLYOW didn't run at all badly when upped to Class 4 level last time and is worthy of support now returned to the class of event in which she was successful at Uttoxeter in May prior to running a decent third to Londonia at Ffos Las off a 6lb higher mark. She's 1lb lower here and should continue to deliver a solid account with trip and ground in her favour. Deserter is the most intriguing one as he showed nothing on his first start since joining Warren Greatrex but showed some ability in Irish maiden hurdles for Robert Tyner and wouldn't have to be far off that level to contend in such an ordinary contest. Keep an eye on him in the market. The Kvilleken is a main player off joint topweight and this course and distance winner should give Tom Bellamy a good ride after a couple of solid efforts in higher grade the last twice.
