Verdict

RUGGARDS GEE TEE (10) produced another fine effort last start when he finished second over 1 ¹/16m at this track, beaten only 1.4 metres. Hard to know where he gets from this slightly awkward draw but is good enough to win a race of this calibre. ODINS BLACK CROWS (11) finished fourth last start over 1 ¹/16m at this circuit, beaten 5.5 metres. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point but has to be included in calculations. SHIRLEY NOT (8) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1 ?m at Globe Derby Park. Top-three aspirations. ONLY ONCE BITTEN (3) has drawn to advantage and should give backers a great sight.
