KEISHA KAYLEIGH is the form pick to land this ordinary looking seller with both Nawamees and Billich worth noting in the betting market. The selection landed a similar race on the turf at Newcastle in June and has since run well in better races since then. He ran a solid race to finish fourth of ten at Musselburgh last time out and if repeating that same level of form he is sure to go close. Trainer David Evans has his team of horses in good order this season and the veteran Nawamees is his representative. He is a seasoned professional winning fourteen times in his career. He is know where near as good as he once was but in this grade he is still dangerous so any support should be noted. Billich has not been seen since winning a handicap at Thirsk two years ago. He has obviously had his problems but if fit after such a long lay off he could play a hand in the race. Keisha Kayleigh has decent form and at this level he should score once more.
