Verdict

Chloe Lyons got a good tune out of Magna Grecia filly PURE PASSION when landing a similar event at Yarmouth and she is very much worth keeping onside, especially at this level. The relatively consistent My Mate Mackley has to enter calculations in a race of this nature, whilst Zaltalla, Ridger and C&D runner-up Dr Ali all have claims too.

Top Tip: Pure Passion (1)
Watch out for: My Mate Mackley (7)

PURE PASSION got her head in front at the fourth time of asking when scoring at Yarmouth last time and, despite being a small filly, showed a good attitude to win on her first start in this company. She can go well again carrying on at this level. Zaltalla has been running consistently in classified company at this track, and was only narrowly denied over a mile before finishing third over 7f, so she should be competitive again taking another step down in trip. My Mate Mackley returned to form when runner-up over 6f at Chepstow and can go well if building on that effort here.
