Verdict

Not an ideal 'getting-out stakes' for punters with the vast majority of the field more at home on artificial surfaces than grass. One possible exception is OPTIMA PETAMUS who put together a string of acceptable handicap performances at this level last season and has shown his wellbeing with a couple of decent efforts for his new yard in the last two months. His career record of 1-40 speaks for itself but he's in here with a respectable each-way shout. Ainne has an obvious claim having scored at Kempton latest, although this is only a third start on Turf, whilst Blyton Lass and Woggle have shown more than most in what is a wide-open contest.
