Verdict

Ginger Spice was good value for her win at Newcastle last time but a 6lb rise for that success looks harsh and the William Haggas-trained filly looks worth taking on with preference for Out For A Stroll, who gets the vote ahead of Katiypour. The selection has, like most of the runners from the yard of Stuart Williams, been in good form of late, remains well treated and will not mind the underfoot conditions. Tajaathub is gradually slipping to a fair mark and has to be respected but needs to improve on recent form to take a hand here, while Aggravation is probably a shade high in the weights. Katiypour is probably better over shorter and preference is for Out For A Stroll, who is taken to continue the fine form of the Stuart Williams stable.
