Verdict

Eternally Yours’ run over 3m at the track 11 days ago was probably needed and she is weighted to reverse running here in the spring with Charm Offensive but the vote goes to the returning MILLARVILLE, denied a run on Monday with abandonment of Carlisle and potentially well treated on her form back over hurdles in the second half of last season. Could Be Trouble is slipping back down the weights and Starlyte is fit from the Flat but the maiden Dot Cotton is having her first run for a new yard.
