Verdict
AVENUE DU MONDE improved for the step up to 1m2f here in September and might be good in this lowly grade on her return to action. Lady Charlie won over 7f at Wolverhampton in December but has been well beaten in three subsequent starts while Jersey Bull was placed on the all-weather on a couple of occasions in January. Retro Valley could figure back over a shorter distance today and Miss Inga Sock and Blues Dancer may do better now handicapping.
