Verdict
Soft ground made all the difference to Mother Jones at Redcar last month but conditions will be quicker here. Tro Nesa keeps finding at least one too good and would also prefer an easier surface, while Timeless Elegance will probably need some help from the handicapper if she's going to get hear head back in front. Mango Music won over 5f here last year and is back on a winning mark. She still retains plenty of ability and can step up on recent efforts but has to give 9lb to ETERNAL INSTINCT, who is penalised for her win in an amateurs' race here eight days ago but seems to be in good heart at present and could be a bit of value to post a follow-up.
