Not that many solid options in this and a lot of the form will have to be taken on “spec”. Swinton Diamond probably has the most solid form but does face a 7lb rise and a longer trip with Rock N’ Stones another who will run a solid race but could be need some help from the handicapper. Given the first-time cheekpieces and booking of Brian Hughes Oh So Gigolo has to be watched in the market with the yard working the oracle with another serial loser (Beeno) at the last meeting and any money for him will be significant. LAVELLA WELLS does look as though she has more to come, particularly over a trip like this and a repeat of her last run will see her go close here.
