Verdict

Colin's Desire has picked up a penalty for his clear-cut success over a similar trip at Wincanton but is probably improving and looks the main danger to PRETTY PENNY. Jennifer Mason's mare was given plenty to do in her hat-trick bid at Leicester in February and could be ready to go again after a short break. She's still at the right end of the handicap. The Clyda Rover is often thereabouts while Venetian Lad could get involved with a clear round and February's Lingfield fourth Captain Tidds makes more appeal than the harshly-treated Magical Treasure.
