Verdict

This won’t take much winning and, though she's been raised a further pound since her latest second over course and distance, OSCAR JANE looks the safest option. Storm Alert struggles to get his head in front nowadays while Benability's confidence must be at rock-bottom. Wincanton third I'llhavealook was pulled up behind the selection here at the start of last month and the others also make limited appeal on recent form.
