Verdict

LIBRA ROMANA was having her first start since January when fifth at Yarmouth recently. She rates the token selection with that run under her belt. Prize gets assistance from Richard Hughes as she steps up in distance while maiden winner Born To Fly should have come on for a recent return to action at Yarmouth. Dancing Sal and Why Not Now have both slipped down the weights and could return to form at any time.
