Verdict

BOOKMARK arrives off the back of a course and distance success and can continue her good progress in this lower grade. Libby Ami has gone close in both outings since winning at Carlisle and can also figure while Golden Melody was beaten less than a length despite finishing only fourth at Ayr last week. Galah represents last year’s winning yard but is fitted with blinkers having finished second of only four runners at Leicester but better is expected from Amy Beach dropping back down in class.
