Verdict

ESSENTRIC NATURE (2) couldn't make it four in a row here last start when jumping the favourite back to 6f. Back out in trip today is a big tick for his chances and the wide draw doesn't hurt with his racing pattern. Expecting him to work into the race on the bend and storm down the outside. NOTEWORTHY (6) comes here fresh with three trials under her belt, the latest over 7 ¼f at Lark Hill. She was good there and CJP hops in the saddle for her first-up effort. She goes well fresh and the inside draw can see her close to the speed. Can make her presence felt. SIXINCH HEELS (11) flew home last start at this track and trip to just miss out on the win. That showed she was back in form however and she rates well on the back of that effort. Can be in the finish once again. ANGEL UNDERCOVER (1) was too good last start and can repeat the dose without surprising. CORRECT CHOICE (8) can sit closer this time and looks a big threat third-up.
