This is not a strong three-year-old handicap but, for the winner, we look to Follow My Lead, with Sound And Vision and Courageously rated her main dangers with, possibly, Windwood proving best of the others. Follow My Lead hails from a strong stable and, to be fair, would not have to improve much this season to play a leading part in what looks like a modest race. If the market speaks in her favour, then we would be interested. Courageously has shown enough so far this season to suggest he can get amongst the money, while Uncle Bulgaria's form rates as reasonable enough and he might help when it comes to assessing the overall value of the form of this race. Windwood certainly has the scope to do better this time around than last as well and is another to note. Sound And Vision put in an improved effort last time and seemed to be crying out for the extra furlong he will encounter today. He too can go well but, for the winner, we will side with Follow My Lead, unless the market tells a different story.
