Verdict

Bowl of Cherries and Postmaster can both be given claims on the pick of their form but that is all on a faster surface than this and both look best watched under today's conditions with a safer bet looking to be Networker. The selection was given a brilliant ride to defy a difficult looking draw when successful on good ground at Beverley last week and he is taken to defy a 6lb penalty for that success. Walter Swinburn's Desert Island Miss has form on a soft surface and she could be of interest, while Geoff Wragg's Convallaria is a potential improver after just three starts and may do better now handicapped. Wodhill Schnaps is another unproven on the ground and looks best watched with a safer option being Networker who is taken to follow up his Beverley success.
