Verdict

Friendly Society looked to be on the way back at Huntingdon earlier this month and has every chance of going one better here, despite top weight. Cash Injection was third over course and distance on his latest start and is back in the right grade while In The Gate is probably a bit better than recent results suggest and has tumbled down the weights. TARA TAVEY has raced three times over track and trip and been placed twice. She wasn't beaten far under conditional Conor Smith at Exeter last month and a repeat of that effort may well suffice today.
