Verdict

All of these having been pretty consistent this season and this looks a tricky affair with no obvious standout. Win My Wings is only inching down the handicap very slowly and Whatsdastory is creeping in the opposite direction despite continually finding one too good. ROSE OF AGHABOE and Tabitha Worsley are a proven combination and should be there or thereabouts with no stamina issues, as she should be well suited stepped back up in trip. Madera Mist could be competitive off her light weight while Black Tulip and Jubilympics are others to consider if they last home.
