Verdict

Seebeedee made all for a comfortable victory at Windsor and a 5lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big effort. PENSIONNAT could only finish second of three here a month ago but had a much better-fancied rival back in third and would have given the odds-on winner a fright but for having to switch so she's taken to gain her first victory. Sixties Love has had 17 starts without winning and is still high enough in the weights while the once-useful Equity Risk has fallen from grace and will be having his first start beyond a mile. The consistent Dark Diamond looks best of the remainder.
