Funseeker looks the one they all have to beat in this handicap; Southwest Star and Bold Diva rate as the main dangers. The selection is a likeable filly and she looks to have plenty in her favour today. She ran well last time at Wolverhampton behind My Mate Max and she makes plenty of appeal today with Jamie Spencer booked to ride. Southwest Star has been in good form of late but a 6lbs penalty for his latest success may just find him out today. Bold Diva is certainly of interest as she was denied a clear run here last time in a race won by Wynberg. She may well have won that race granted a bit of luck and she is clearly on good terms with herself at present. Vigano has a good draw and could prove best of the others, but this looks a good opportunity for Funseeker who is taken to land the prize.
