In depth
Verdict
SHEISDIESEL gets the vote as she gained her only victory here in February and is only 1lb higher despite running well recently. Honor Oak doesn't win often and ,though consistent, is still 8lb higher than when scoring here a year ago. The veteran Six Silver Lane has won 13 races and may not be finished yet from this sort of mark though, like stable companion Midnitemudcrabs, doesn't have the best of the draw. Spring Garden has never won and makes her handicap debut but Danny Sheehy's claim can aid the cause of Try Again, who completed a hat-trick over course and distance earlier this year.
