Canina wasn't beaten far last time and could be worth another chance; the list of dangers is headed by Prince Of Delphi and Gimme Some Lovin. Paul Green trains the selection and this course and distance winner wasn't beaten far behind Briery Blaze here on Tuesday. She has a decent draw here and she should go close. Prince Of Delphi and Gimme Some Lovin are well drawn and they also have to enter calculations. The first mentioned is a lightly-raced colt and he ran well at Kempton last time considering it was his first try on the all-weather. He is again partnered by Seb Sanders and he is entitled to run a big race. Gimme Some Lovin scrambled home to score by a short-head here last time and that was a noteworthy effort as she had the worst of the draw that day. This is more competitive but she is open to further progress and she should be capable of making the frame. Came Back and Zarzu have not been done any favours by the draw, and in a trappy contest we will side with Canina to land the prize.
