Get out your lucky pin, this is a very open event and Let Slip gets a narrow vote over Feed The Meter and Rawdon. The selection was most impressive when taking a decent looking handicap at Kempton last time. The runner uphas gone well since, and as it was her first run of the season, she is open to plenty of improvement. Feed The Meter was in tremendous form this time last year, winning three in a row. If on her return to the track she will be hard to beat. Rawdon looked in need of a recent spin round Newmarket and we should see a much better effort this evening. He boasts victories at Newmarket and Haydock last season and still looks on a fair mark. Joint top-weight Le Corvee is also expected to run well, but Let Slip does have scope for further progression and she edges the decision.
