Verdict

PURE BARS (12) is another up in class and down in weight. He has not had much luck recently and has been placed in both of his starts on this course. Each way claims, despite the 6-week gap between runs. CHARLBURY (9) has the talent, but is only going through the motions lately, whacking away here last time out, 3 weeks ago. If she can relax outside the lead, then she becomes an each-way chance at value. KWANZA (6) fought on well enough here 3 weeks ago in a similar field, and he carries 7lbs less this time, thanks to a claim, so stick with him. NOTABADSPILLANE (1) comes out of the same race as the fourth pick, and on his day, he is more than capable of figuring in the top 4. GOLD CURRENCY (2) just battled last time out, but he is much better placed in this, and can make amends.
