Verdict

Five-year-olds won this five times in a row before the seven-year-old Favorite Girl, who is back for more off a 5lb higher mark, was successful in 2016. TAWEYLA (NAP) falls into the ideal age range and, despite negative market vibes, won comfortably on her reappearance at Kempton three weeks ago. She should have more to offer and can defy an 8lb hike in the weights. Mystery Code is equally unexposed and a faster surface should help her cause while Unbuckled won here in December before finishing third over track and trip in January under a penalty. Mystic Sky should also be thereabouts but Midtech Valentine is getting no closer.
