Verdict

KING'S DRAMA (5) gets out to 6f today for the first time this campaign and that looks a good move. He was no match for the impressive Bassett Hound last start, but he's a winner at this track and trip previously and this is much easier. Can bounce back to winning ways. CONCHETTA'S DREAM (14) stormed home from the back last start to just miss over 7f and now draws an inside barrier coming back in distance. She's jumped favourite in both runs this campaign and hasn't been disgraced in defeat. This looks another suitable race for her. CORNER OFF (4) finished off well from the back last start at Northam where the jockey said she wasn't comfortable in her action throughout. Out to 6f now may be what she's looking for and she can be in the finish from a good draw. FIVE DOWN (13) is likely to get back in the run again but watch for him late in the race. CLEANEMUP (1) is better than she showed last time out and can bounce back to her best.
