Verdict

It's tempting to stick with Molly Oscar but she was flattered by her margin of victory in an equally modest contest at Plumpton on Monday and isn't exactly consistent. She also has a penalty to carry but Follow The Tracks is woefully out of form and course specialist Jolly Boys Outing is looking a light of former days. Upbeat Cobbler needs to up his game and Tanner Hill was pulled up when favourite at Market Rasen last month so a tentative vote goes to TRY IT SOMETIME, who was still in touch when unseating his rider two out in a better race at Ffos Las last month.
