Verdict
This is probably the worst race on the card and with no confidence the vote goes to A Teen, with Miss Mujahid Times and Sydneyroughdiamond rated the main dangers. The selection does not have the best of draws but has at least run well in each of his last two starts and a reproduction of those efforts may well suffice in a race as poor as this. Obe One is better berthed than the selection but just two wins from 66 career starts tells its own story. Avontuur remains a maiden after 13 starts, while Jessica Wigmo has only been placed once in 17 outings. Miss Mujahid Times ran better in a similar contest at Lingfield last time and, along with Sydneyroughdiamond who has been hurdling of late, has to be respected but preference is for A Teen.
