Despite being quite a poor race I think this race has quite a nice betting angle to it. This is probably an invitation for it to bolt up 20 lengths but I think its fair to suggest on all known form we can rule out Dansili Dutch. Its important to note however this is only his 2nd start for David O'meara and he has an outstanding record of turning round a horses fortune's but until we see some more positive signs I will put a line through him for today. J Shanahan has a decent record when he brings his horses over from Ireland and that was demonstrated when That's Plenty bolted up in a 7f Wolverhampton Maiden. That was a very week race however and he has an extra 2f against stiffer opposition today so a line goes through that one too. Medici Dancer is consistent enough but is not straightforward and makes his AW debut and is usually worth taking on so we'l but a fork in that one too. That leaves Fluctuation and HONEY OF A KITTEN. They fought out a CD seller in October. Fluctuation ran down Honey of a Kitten late in the day after he committed for home quite a long way out. I was impressed with the way Honey of a Kitten stayed on that day and is likely to be a much bigger price than the rest of this field especially after his Redcar flop last time. You can put a line through that as he is simply a better horse on AW surface. Trainer Pat Evans is starting to come into form with a winner at Kempton yesterday evening.

Trappy looking contest in which a few can be given a decent chance. Bladewood Girl ran well in 4th at Kempton last time and will find the competition here less demanding. Cheers Big Ears ran a really nice race in 3rd at Wolverhampton staying on from a long way back to finish 3rd. He doesn't look the easiest of rides however so a tentative selection would be MY CLAIRE. The filly stayed on very strongly in the finish over CD to trouble 55 rated gelding Scepticism. That race has not exactly worked out but it was certainly visually impressive. I would recommend you review the prices of all 3 of these and maybe play dutch if price allows or play the bigger price each way. You could also look at combination forecast options.
