Verdict

Another wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have a chance on their best form but the principals look to be Radlett Lady, Vlasta Weiner and Orchestration and the narrow vote is given to Radlett Lady. The selection won well last time out when beating Doctor Dennis and although she has a penalty for that win she won with plenty in hand and is taken to win again under similar conditions. Vlasta Weiner rates the main danger on his best form but he is far from consistent and at likely odds he looks worth opposing. Orchestration is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Cleveland Way but he has given the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Mr Spliffy won well last time out but third looks tougher while Zarin is from a yard that is beginning to hit top form and for the winner we return to Radlett Lady.
