Verdict

LADY MARIE is the only one of these with a recent run under her belt. She ran fresh from a wide draw at Lingfield on her reappearance and this extra distance will suit on her handicap debut. Seductive Power is a novice winner at Newbury and Emily's Eclipse landed a maiden race at Beverley while Dawn Vega placed in a handicap at Newmarket in October. Get Stuck In is another handicapping for the first time on his reappearance having been gelded.
