      Verdict

      Bezzas Lad won in soft going over 6f at Chepstow last time and is 4lb higher while Spreadsheet has won two of his last three starts over the same trip here. Bama Lama escaped a penalty at Ffos Las and took advantage to land a double but is 6lb higher today while Good Earth beat Tomahawk Ridge over track and trip back in May and Ocean Wilde scored here in August. But FIRENZE ROSA won this contest in 2019 and with the ground back in her favour, John Bridger’s mare gets the vote.
