Linda Green can win this although Liberty Belle and Gone 'N' Dunnett will make her work hard in pursuit of the prize. Linda Green's participation is probably reliant on what happens on Monday at Windsor. However, she is tough, consistent and importantly tonight, well drawn. Liberty Belle ran a fair sixth behind The Game at Newmarket. The yard are coming back into form and she has to be respected. Gone 'N' Dunnett is one of a pair from the Christine Dunnett yard. The course specialist should not be far away. Mafaheem ran in claiming company with credit but life is tougher in handicaps. Angel Voices shaped well after a break when fifth behind Invincible Lad at Ayr. It will be interesting to see whether any money arrives at the track. Thoughtsofstardom might be better over the minimum trip these days. A good race and Linda Green gets the nod.
