Verdict

Fisola created a favourable impression when scoring on her debut at Salisbury last month and is taken to follow up from Smart Cassie and City For Conquest. The last mentioned is the most exposed of these after four starts, latterly when a three-length third of six behind Millfield in a similar contest at Catterick. Howard Johnson's Hazelhurst is entitled to improve for her debut effort at Haydock but needs to do so, while Becky Moss is difficult to weigh up on the evidence of her first start in a big field Newbury maiden. More solid claims are probably held by Smart Cassie, who did everything asked of her when making a winning debut at Catterick last month. Fisola has the more solid form though and she gets the vote.
