In depth

Verdict

The three against the field here are Namu, Be My Charm and Pommes Frites with the last named getting the vote. Pommes Frites ran with real promise on her debut to finish and eye-catching second of fourteen at Leicester. She was not beaten far that day and, with further improvement likely, she is taken to break her maiden tag today. Namu did improve from his debut to finish a decent second at Windsor on his latest run. With experience on his side he has to be short-listed. As does Be My Charm who is a filly who has been knocking on the door on each of her three runs. It wont be long before she enters the winners enclosure. But on this occasion we return to Pommes Frites.
