Verdict

Gudnis Gracious Me has done most of her winning in fast conditions and has now slipped to a mark she is capable of winning from though she's up against some in-form rivals. She was also behind Nodelay here last summer and the latter is another who will be suited by the faster ground. SHERSHEWILL hasn't had much racing and is still progressing judged on her two runs over the track and trip this year. She's making her handicap debut but there's more to come and she'll be difficult to beat. Roisin Dubh has been racing on soft ground as as her only success came in a bumper on good going she's definitely one to keep an eye on.
