This is a pretty weak amateur riders handicap and Alexander Sapphire is expected to bounce back to winning form, Be Wise Girl and Imperative are suggested as the main dangers. Peter Chapple- Hyam's filly put in an woeful display at Southwell last time, but had previously slammed a pretty decent field at the same track. The race may have come a bit too quickly and following a three week break we expect her to be back to her best. Be Wise Girl ran well in a similar race to this a couple of week ago, finishing second to Cumbrian Princess, she should be capable of making the frame once again.Meanwhile Imperative is not harshly treated on his best form and should also figure in the finish, but Alexander Sapphire was most impressive when successful at Southwell and if her last run was just a blip she looks the one to be on
