Verdict

In a contest lacking much depth on paper, a chance is taken with handicap debutant MUSIC ACADEMY. Ralph Beckett's filly showed promise on her second start when third at Kempton and a repeat of that effort in first-time blinkers may well suffice. Blufferonthebus is capable of being in the mix after her latest third at Catterick, while Emery Down heads the remainder.

Top Tip: Music Academy (8)
Watch out for: Blufferonthebus (3)

Music Academy is from a top stable and sister to a Group 3 scorer, so it's easy to understand why she'd be fancied from an opening mark of just 65. The blinkers now go on for the first time and she could easily be good enough, but the top weight EPIDAVROS appeals as a more solid option. She's a former C&D winner who likes soft ground and is below her last winning mark. Blufferonthebus enters the race in form off a competitive mark and is another to consider.
