A dreadful seller in which TAPER JEAN GIRL is put forward with minimal confidence to see off Tiger Hawk and Rainsborough the likely dangers. Ruth Carr's charge has proven form around Southwell and while undoubtedly her last effort was disappointing, it could be worth chancing that those ills were merely a bad day at the office. Tiger Hawk surprised all when dotting up at 40/1 in a seller at the course. The handicapper made life difficult in handicaps by thumping him for a 14lb rise. Rainsborough is a regular in plating class. The former Mick Channon inmate looks a banker for those getting involved in the placepot this afternoon. Bookiesindex Girl steps up in trip having campaigned over six furlongs and thereabouts. Scintillating has clearly not lived up to her blue blood breeding though her latest effort at the course was not without promise. Ellmollell ran with a degree of credit in a Wolverhampton seller in November but has failed to translate that form to the fibresand. Not a race to linger too long over and for the winner, we side with Taper Jean Girl.
