This doesn’t look a strong race and GUMRA (NAP) is worth sticking with. She’s penalised for her latest success at Chelmsford but that was her most comfortable win so far and there looks more to come from David O’Meara’s filly. She’s preferred to stablemate Al Aresh but Blame Culture has slipped down the weights and posted a better effort at Chelmsford last time. Barrington went close at Kempton when last on the all-weather and Mamillius can also do better back on this surface.
