The booking of Richard Johnson suggests we are going to see Dubh Eile is a much better light now that the ground has dried out but THE LAST BAR is less exposed. Harry Skelton's mare has improved with every run and can go one better than at Doncaster last month over this longer distance. Mini Muck has run well here in the past and makes more appeal than top weight Bonnet's Vino and the returning Kentford Heiress. Jean Fleming is tried in blinkers but has proved frustrating to follow and a similar comment applies to Chantara Rose. Tara Well appeared to run well at Sandown 12 days ago but it may not be wise to take that form too literally.
