Miss Holly, Sailor A'Hoy and Alrida and the tentative vote goes to the last named. The selection looked all over the winner when beaten a short head at Cartmel last time out when second behind Hutch. In the hope that his run is delayed slightly longer this time he is taken to score under conditions that suit. Miss Holly rates the main danger she won well on her debut but was beaten under her penalty by Lights On last time out. That form has since been let down badly and she will need to improve if she is to win under her penalty. Sailor A Hoy is another worthy of respect he was a fair second behind Whispered Secret last time in first time blinkers that form has since been franked and if they work again he will not be far away. Of the remainder Crunchy has the ability to go close on his flat form but he has looked a none stayer to date over hurdles and for the winner we return to Alrida.
