    Verdict

    Ebony Empress won at Ludlow in January and may be capable of better as that was her first start since September but MOLO and Rouquine Sauvage may be the pair to concentrate on here. The latter is a bit quirky but gets on well with Rachael Green and won nicely at Uttoxeter. But the former will have blinkers on to sharpen her ideas up and her latest second to Molly's A Diva at Exeter, where the first two were clear of the rest, looks slightly better form. Still Believing is next best on her second at Ludlow in January as Keshi Pearl and Teochew haven't shown much this term.
