Verdict

Dropping back in trip is a slight concern for Affair so the in-form filly is taken on with SNOWY WINTER , who has a bit more scope at present and may be worth chancing on the predicted ground. (A little rain before the off would be a big bonus though.) My Brother Mike ran well above market expectations last time out but this is a much weaker looking contest, so also has sound claims of making the frame once more.
