16:30 Southwell

Even though POKHARA hadn’t shown a great deal in her first 3 starts I took a chance on her at Yarmouth but she was a brutal drifter out from around 13/2 to 20/1 come post time. She could only finish midfield on that occasion but she left that behind at Windsor to win well. She relished the step back up to 6f and stayed on strongly through the line. A mere 3lb rise shouldn’t be enough to stop her running a big race again and she is one I want to keep on side for now. Benoit De La Sayette gets the leg up and claims a handy 3lb too. Morty won at Chelmsford last time and back up in trip under a penalty he is the obvious danger. Arnold has been nibbled at this morning and is capable on a going day but by no means one for maximum faith. Cheese The One didn’t run badly on debut for Rebecca Menzies when fourth at Newcastle and might be value to hit the frame.
