Pearlita refused to race at Worcester last month but won at Southwell before that and has claims if on her best behaviour. Kovera produced a much better effort at Newton Abbot earlier this month while Eddy is a previous course and distance winner. Come On Louis may be improving but a tentative vote goes to WALTER ONEEIGHTONE, who needs to brush up his jumping but is one of the least exposed and likely to be suited by today’s step up in trip.
