This is one of the hardest races on the card and we will give a tentative vote to Panshir, Whatatodo and Angel River coulld also get involved in the finish. Christine Dunnett has an excellent record at her local track and her runner Panshir does have the form to go close. He is obviously not the most consistent of performers but has been running in slightly better company this season. If he can repeat his Ripon run in April when a close up sixth behind Trevian, he would have a sound chance. Whatatodo drops into selling company for the first time following some decent enough efforts in handicaps and should go well in a first time visor. Angel River ran her best race for some time when third at Lingfield last month and she may get into a place. All in all a very tough contest and Panshir is expected to go well at at a decent price.
