Verdict

THREE LITTLE BIRDS had Avon Green back in fourth when successful over track and trip on her penultimate start. She went very close off today’s higher mark here last week and Sylvester Kirk’s filly gets another chance in her current form. Pea Shooter got his head in front at Musselburgh last time and should go well again while Swendab won at Ffos Las earlier in the month but never threatened when third at Chepstow recently. Invincible Ridge slips further down the weights and looks more favourably handicapped than Canford Bay.
