Reg Hollinshead does well with his runners here and TILLERS SATISFIED looks a good bet to land this event; Franchesca's Gold and Courageous Nature rate as the main dangers. The selection disappointed in a better race than this last time but she can be forgiven that below-par run as she clearly did not handle the ground. Her form is a bit patchy but she has a good draw here and she looks the percentage call. Rod Millman's Franchesca's Gold has only got moderate form but her best run did come here and a reproduction of that effort should see her competitive. However, her high draw will make life tough, a comment that would also apply to Courageous Nature. Its Alice was well beaten on her debut here but she has the plum draw and this drop in trip should suit. This is a tough race for punters but we will side with Tillers Satisfied as the pick.
