        led, hard ridden over 1f out, ran on until no extra and headed close home

        In depth

        Verdict

        Lesley's Choice has gone very close on his last couple of starts though he's gone up in the weights despite not winning and BERTIE SOUTHSTREET is just preferred. He beat a couple of higher rated rivals in a claimer at this track last month and this looks no tougher. Sherjawy seems stuck on his current mark judged on recent placed efforts and Rightcar has struggled off higher marks since scoring at Kempton in January. Almaty Express is better over 6f nowadays but can never be easily dismissed at this course.
