Think Quick, Spectacular Hope and Frambo are the three for the shortlist here and the vote is given to Frambo. The selection ran a stinker when last seen out at Towcester behind Blaise Wood, but she has had a long break since that run and with the tongue tie back on today she looks to have a leading chance. Think Quick was a little disappointing at Towcester earlier this month but she had previously won a seller at Ludlow in decent style and she looks to have place prospects in this more difficult race. Spectacular Hope was a fair fourth behind Gan Eagla last time and this mare has been given a break since that run. She has won in this grade before but she looks to be a little high in the weights at present. Private Jessica is a fairly consistent type and she could go well at an each-way price, but for the winner we return to Frambo.
