This is a very competitive 18 runner handicap, all Bookies currently go odds to 4th place and SkyBet to 5th; though may be best to check

which will enhance odds if we go down below 16 runners. A bit of deadwood in here and cant see much value in Timeforben. The Flame 

is also a short price considering it is from an out of form yard that can't be trusted at the best of times, apart from maybe a week in March

and a few days in April!. The most solid near the top of the market would seem to be GOODGIRL THREESA and a return to form last time;

makes her form look solid; has decent P2P form in soft Going at 3 miles. STEEL EXPRESS comes from a yard that like a touch and one

The likes of Neetside, from a yard we like and who have done well for us recently and Stolberg are of interest but have to fully convince

at this trip, would be no surprise if either of them "popped up". I might be interested in Howaboutnever but always needs a run after a break.

If you look purely at P2P form BREAKING GROUND is of some interest. It was beaten not far by a horse called THE DUBAI WAY which

has rattled up a 4 timer off marks up to high 120's and there have been glimmers over shorter trip than this, that the step up in trip may suit;

and a mark of 81, with Connor Shoemark up, is just too eye-catching to totally ignore.
