Verdict

Very Well Red comes here in search of the hat-trick and gets the nomination ahead of Harvest Warrior and Skyelady. Peter Hiatt's improving four-year-old wasn't seen on a racecourse until February of this year, however connections patience has been rewarded as she has been in great form in handicaps of late. She made all on her last start, easing down to still win by four lengths and an 8lb rise may not be enough to stop her winning again. Julie Camacho's filly has proved slightly frustrating lately, however blinkers replace the customary cheekpieces today in the hope that they will sharpen her up. Paparaazi has been in consistent form on the all-weather of late but is on a 10lb higher mark back on turf so is opposed. Of more interest may be Harvest Warrior who won well last time out and still looks competitive despite a 5lb rise in the weights. A tricky contest, but Very Well Red is progressive and can win again.
