In depth

Verdict

Plenty of fully exposed sorts here and we will side with Honest Injun in the hope that a further 1lb drop and faster ground will help, while Mystical Girl, Catherine Howard and Norwegian are others to consider. The selection is trained by Barry Hills, whose runners have been going well enough despite just 10 winners so far for him this season. The Efisio colt improved to win on his third outing last season and has produced two decent efforts in fourth so far this term. Last time out at Kempton he ran out of petrol on heavy ground, but back over a mile, with that slight drop in the weights, and on better ground he can come good again. Mark Johnston runs Mystical Girl and she can be given a chance on her two narrow defeats so far this season. However, a 2lb rise for the latest certainly doesn't make her well in and she may just have to settle for the frame again. Catherine Howard got up close home to win a Lingfield maiden on debut last year and was not seen from then until being beaten comfortably at Ripon last month. With that run under her belt we expect improvement, but Mick Channon's runners still do not look fully wound up and she is opposed. Of the remainder, Norwegian makes most appeal off a low weight. David Loder's charge is tried on turf for the first time but would not be making the trip north if his trainer did not think he was capable of running a big race at a track where he excels. Rated 65 on his all weather form, he should handle this quickish ground and is expected to go well. However, for the selection we return to Honest Injun.
