Irish import SHE'S INVINCIBLE was well backed on her first start for Mark Johnston at Chepstow. She only finished fourth but wasn't beaten far and, with improvement likely, looks the one to beat in this. Delysdream could run well at decent odds but Ciaras Cookie has gone backwards since winning over 7f on soft ground here in the autumn and Solveig's Song has been raised a couple of pounds since her second at the track last month. Essaka probably still needs to drop a few pounds but Lady Zodiac has been thereabouts here of late and will be hard to keep out of the frame.
