Verdict

Being out of a dam by Risk Me, Riskie Blue has a huge influence for handling cut in the ground in his pedigree and he has solid claims but represents a yard badly out of form at present so preference is for Fahed, who gets the vote over Pearo. The last mentioned showed promise on her Catterick debut last week but, like Riskie Blue, may be best watched given the form of the yard. Mama Leo is becoming expensive to follow, while Bettys Touch was well held on her debut and is hard to recommend. Redbackcappuchino has been beaten a total of 36 lengths in her two starts so far and a better bet may be the newcomer Fahed, who is bred to be useful and she gets the vote in a moderate looking contest.
