Invermere was taking on much better opposition last time at Bath having finished second over this course and distance on her reappearance. She rarely runs a bad race in the right grade and is a big danger to KARISMA (NAP). But Roger Varian’s less-exposed filly just gets the nod as she looked a shade unlucky when beaten at Lingfield earlier this month having won at the same track in December. Company Asset and Quick N Quirky both lack a recent run but Mike Appleby should find a race for Hells Babe this year given she went close in a higher grade at Wolverhampton last month.
