Verdict
Certa Cito is fancied to follow-up an extremely promising debut win at Catterick with another victory here, with Able Mind, Sandgate Cygnet and Coracle King also likely to battle out the places. The selection, trained by Tim Easterby, was an unconsidered 33/1 outsider for her belated debut in March, but despite running extremely green she ran out a convincing two lengthy winner and looks sure to improve on that. She was slowly away that day, but was only pushed out under a hands and heels ride and seems certain to appreciate this extra furlong today. Able Mind was a fairly consistent performer last season and seems sure to be thereabouts if straight enough on his reappearance, while Sandgate Cygnet scored in game fashion at Hamilton last season. Coracle King was a beaten favourite at Nottingham on Easter Monday, but the form of that race is already working out well and he should give the selection most to do.
