Verdict

Heathyards Joy gets a tentative vote over the likes of Danum, Taylor Maid and Queue Up, with Viscount Rossini another to consider. Nothing stands out at all here but Heathyards Joy has as good a chance as any based on his effort at Southwell a fortnight ago when fourth to Silsong. He has flattered to deceive in the past though and is still a maiden after 28 career starts, so the fact that he is put up as the selection shows just how bad this race is. Stablemate Danum was a place behind the selection at Southwell and now re-opposes on worse terms so should be held, while Taylor Maid lines up on the back of a recent outing over timber at Stratford and has run one or two fair races on this track in the past. Queue Up is yet another maiden and has performed badly on two previous visits, and Viscount Rossini was very disappointing here in January but has at least only had five runs in his life so there is some hope, but in a bad, bad race for betting purposes, Heathyards Joy is the selection.
