Nothing rock solid but MOTHER JONES sets the standard and is fancied to see off Pitkin, Common Touch and Squires Gate. David Brown's filly has run two good races and her latest third to Rock Ace at Ripon reads fairly well (sixth won seller since). Ryedale Dancer needs a market check on debut, West Stand looks limited, whilst Bigalo's Laura B went close at 40/1 in a Ripon seller last time out and is not discounted. Set Me Free ran in a good maiden here earlier in the month won by Jaahiz and should have learnt plenty, Squires Gate started off in the Brocklesby and although he didn't follow up with a good run at Haydock he should relish this slower ground, whilst Common Touch represents a powerful northern yard and is bred to be fairly nippy. Assertion and Pitkin need to step up on debut efforts but support for the latter would encourage, whilst Cornish Quest wasn't beaten far on debut and he should relish the extra furlong today. This looks a decent chance for Mother Jones to score.
