Verdict

Another seven-runner affair, with a few of these ruled out with confidence. Despite making a quiet comeback at Kelso, Paper Promise is lightly raced and isn't one to lose faith in just yet. She looked one to follow when winning over hurdles at this track on her final start last season. This is a more realistic assignment for Theflickeringlight who goes handicapping after contesting a pair of hot novice hurdles recently. Any market support for her would be significant. However, preference is for Amberose who looks a solid selection. She showed her wellbeing when making a winning return to action at Carlisle last month and can follow-up for the in-form Nicky Richards team.
  1. Amberose

  3. Paper Promise
