Verdict
Molly's Secret, Looks The Business and Missie Baileys look to be the leading lights in this claimer and the vote is given to Molly's Secret. The selection ran well here over this course and distance when a fourth behind El Chaparral. She wasn't beaten far that day and if she can run up to that level again here then she should have a solid chance of getting her head in front. Looks The Business was disappointing at Chester last time when the cheek-pieces failed to have the desired effect. They are left off today and although the step-up in trip should be in his favour here, he looks to have plenty to prove at present. Missie Baileys was well-beaten last time but has to be worthy of respect today in this easier grade. Bobby Kennard and Margery Daw are others that are capable of getting competitive in this company, but in a race which shouldn't take a great deal of winning, we will side with Molly's Secret as our idea of the winner.
