TOPLESS is given the vote with her yard in tremendous nick. Neil Mulholland has sent out two winners and three seconds from his last eight runners and this mare has a course win to her name. She looks attractively handicapped and her summer break may have freshened her up. Pairc Na Gcapall took a crashing fall over hurdles at Huntingdon but is interesting if that hasn't left its mark, whilst Tamba Boy's record is too hit-and-miss to recommend. Some Craic is now back down to a tempting mark and this ex-Irish gelding is respected, along with the experienced duo of Havenstone and Classic Clover. Outside Investor has been hit with a 7lbs rise for his Wincanton stroll but as he is out of the weights by 6lbs it means that he probably faces an uphill struggle this afternoon.
