      Verdict

      Rare Coincidence caught a tartar just three days ago in the form of Sir Mark Prescott's Artless and he can make amends today with another victory; The Pen looks the chief danger in a weak race. The selection looked as if he may have stolen the race from the front last time out but was reeled in near the line. He may well be the answer here although whether he would be value at very short odds would be debatable as he has never actually won on ground this soft and certainly wouldn't want any more rain. The Pen may be the one to take advantage as whilst he is better on a sound surface, he has actually won on soft ground and over this course and distance so rates a threat. Dual-purpose horse Kid'Z'Play has a visor on for the first time but the eleven-year-old isn't getting any better, so Jimmy Lambe's Relocation may prove more of a threat. This is a weak race to finish with and Rare Coincidence can make it three wins from his last four outings.
