Verdict
Flutterbee ran well when second in a similar contest at Leicester on Monday under George Wood and needs considering if turned out again although this does look a slightly stronger contest. Ifan has come back to form the last twice when partnered by Mitch Godwin and is respected alongside the consistent Innoko, who gained reward for consistency with a Chepstow success over this trip 11 days ago, albeit on soft ground. Qibtee came from some way back to notch third spot at Wetherby recently and a similar effort brings him into play but LITTLE CHOOSEY has moved into really good form in the last ten weeks with four good efforts culminating in a Wolverhampton success under a confident Hollie Doyle ride. Back up in trip now should not prove an inconvenience and the pair are taken to augment that Dunstall Park success.
