Verdict

A competitive mares handicap. Dollar Bae and Ucanaver are closely matched on their 1-2 at Southwell in December but Fay Ce Que Voudras was a disappointing favourite at Leicester after scoring at Hereford. So Said I is running for the first time in more than a year and will also struggle to confirm past form with Terresita. Felicie Du Maquis is 2-2 over hurdles and has also won twice between the flags but she has not been done any favours by the handicapper while Grivetana is a keen-going sort who may struggle to stay this longer trip. PORTER IN THE PARK is weighted to reverse Hereford running last month with the in-form Well Vicky so gets a tentative vote.
