    Verdict

    Bertie Blake has placed off similar marks on several occasions including at Sedgefield last time but remains without a win. A couple of these posted better efforts recently having slid down the weights though Coisa Blanco’s third at Taunton came in selling company and INDIAN REEL makes more appeal. He’s a rare winner but just missed out at Huntingdon last month and Conor Dore’s charge is taken to go one better off his current mark. Kahaleesi failed to complete on her debut for current connections and hasn’t raced since 2017 and the rest are even harder to fancy.
