Muse To Use has gone backwards since debut whilst the opposite can be said of River Blade who looks to be developing but we side with the twice runner-up ARTIC ROSE to prove too good for the opposition in this contest. The pick has run pretty well at Yarmouth in her last two efforts and this could be the right race to go one better. Although not the most stunning pedigree, she has progressed nicely so far in three appearance and given the relatively weak opposition could lose her maiden tag. The main challenge may come from River Blade who despite finishing five-and-a-half lengths behind Hayley Cropper last time out at Redcar showed development since debut. If improving further here he may be able to dispute the honours. Muse To Use put in a promising debut in May but has not made the steps forward that were anticipated and was a very poor fifteen lengths behind the victor last time out. In an affair lacking quality we side with Artic Rose to emerge with the win.
