Verdict
Happy Banner has filled third place on both starts so far this year and is likely to be in the mix once again. That said, preference is for GENNADIUS, who was second at Pontefract last weekend and that was a step in the right direction. Rating is a player based on her Bath win two starts ago, while Spirit Of The Bay is also noted.
Expert View Verdict
Last year's winner GREAT BLASKET returns 12 months on from a 3lb lower mark and, although a bit below form at Wetherby last time, he needs respecting on his penultimate Nottingham third. He's worth siding with although Happy Banner enters the race on a consistent run of form and still looks on a fair mark, and Gennadius shaped with much more encouragement at Pontefract last time.
