Verdict

Another wide-open handicap here with many in form rivals in opposition including Blakeset, Blonde En Blonde and Invader, and we will side with Blonde En Blonde. The filly from the Nick Littmoden yard was a fair fourth last time out when behind St Ivian and, although she is at the bottom weights, she is taken to win with conditions in her favour. Blakeset rates the main danger he won well last time when defeating Winning Pleasure last time. However, although he has won over this trip his best form is over six furlongs he is opposed for that reason. Invader could also go well despite top weight. He was a fair third in a hot handicap behind Linning Wine last time. However, the drop in trip is not sure to suit And Toto To is another in form he won well last time when defeating Lily Of The Guild but that was in a first time visor and it is not guaranteed to work as well again. Of the remainder, Ashtree Belle is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with the Blonde En Blonde.
