Verdict

Coalition who won very easily at Lingfield last time out is taken to follow up in this tight affair. Johnson's Point loves it round here and won well under a fine ride from Jamie Spencer two runs ago she was slightly disappointing last time out but the rain softened ground had gone against her. Nightwatchman was a fair third in a competitive handicap last time out and will not have to improve much to take a hand here. Life Is Beautiful won a seller over course and distance last time out but this looks a lot harder. The remainder need to improve on all known form to take a hand .
