Alaskan Wind was having her first start for John Mackie when scrambling home at Newcastle for which she's been raised 4lb. BONITA B has been placed in eight of 13 starts including a much better race than this at Nottingham last time and though looking vulnerable she has the best form on view. Lawful Command may be suited by the easier ground conditions but Full Of Beans disappointed when well supported at Thirsk. Glasstrees could provide the main threat as she was only just touched off at Leicester and may not have been suited by Polytrack at Chelmsford. Lawful Command looks best of the remainder.
