Verdict
HOLBACHE disappointed at Lingfield last time having scored here before that but he gets another chance given he holds Ruby Cottage on the form book and the latter went on to score over track and trip last week. Youllovemewheniwin also won here back in May but remains 9lb higher while Portelet Bay has recorded both wins so far over 6f, including at Yarmouth last time. Jessie Pye remains unexposed and is another to consider.
