Verdict
Isabella Rossini is taken to get the better of Pennestamp, Cois Na Tine Eile, and Beaumont Girl. This is certainly not the strongest of contests, and should be well within the scope of Isabella Rossini who drops back in trip after finishing third on the Lingfield Polytrack 12 days ago. That was in a non-selling handicap in which she led until fading inside the final furlong, so with everything in her favour here, Jonathan Potman's filly should take all the beating. Pennestamp took on fair nursery company last term and after being soundly beaten on both starts this year, is another that drops a level. His ability to handle the ground will have to be taken on trust, but if he does then he can make a race of it. Cois Na Tine Eile showed very little on her return to action in a Leicester claimer five days ago, and Beaumont Girl will have to improve on what she showed at Thirsk last month but her stable has been in good form this season. On recent evidence though, the selection has to be Isabella Rossini.
