Verdict
A wide open handicap rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Rose Of The Hill, Worlaby Dale and Miss Cospector and the tentative vote goes to Warlaby Dale. The selection was a fair fourth behind Donovan last time out, that form has since been franked and with the step up in trip sure to suit he will be hard to beat. Rose Of The Hill rates the main danger she finished in mid-division behind the highly progressive Celtic Son last time only beaten 20 lengths. This looks easier and the drop in distance looks likely to suit so she should be noted in the market. Miss Cospector is another worthy of respect on her latest fourth behind Eskimo Pie but she just gave the impression she would be suited by a longer trip and she also looked in the handicappers grip so she is passed over here. The Pecker Dunn is well in on his best form but that has come over a longer trip and he looks opposable on that basis. Of the remainder Standing Bloom is from a yard in form and is another to note in the market but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Warlaby Dale.
