Verdict

A case can be made for many of this large field of mares, nine of whom are winners last time out. The market as always in this type of event will provide some clues but in a wide open race Glenmoss Tara is a sporting selection. A winner of both her starts to date, Glenmoss Tara has impressed with her attitude to racing and should be there or thereabouts. Mary Reveley sends Our Ethel down from Saltburn but her win at Musselburgh doesn't look anything special. Long Shot and Blue Dante represent powerful stables with the latter marginally preferred and Fragrant Rose could also go well freshened up after a three month absence.
