Verdict
Whipphound did better at Nottingham last time but that was over 6f and Mucky Molly's recent placed efforts came on the slower Fibresand surface. Marshall Art finished closer at this track last time and he could figure but the token vote goes to CHAMBLES. The course and distance winner has slipped down the weights of late and Gemma Tutty's allowance may give him the edge in such a poor handicap. Penbryn could prove best of the remainder.
