Verdict

Charming has every chance if at her best but is far from reliable finishing last here a week ago having won at Lingfield before that. DANZIGER may prove a better option as she's taken to improve further on the progress she's already shown since joining David Evans and make a successful handicap debut. Russian Bullet is on a decent mark if everything falls his way but the losing run of veteran Even Bolder stretches back over three years now. Rambo Will and Quality Art continue to struggle despite tumbling down the weights and Courageous remains out of form.
