Verdict

Greenflash looks harshly treated for her defeat of Uncle Dermot in Lingfield maiden while Aloneinthestreet has struggled since winning at Southwell in February. Face Value has scope but may need more time and High On The Hog looked very one-paced last year. Sottovoce has shown promise on the all-weather and Barathea Dancer is usually thereabouts but there is probably more to come from BAQAAT, who was doing her best work at the finish over 7f at Lingfield last month and will appreciate the extra here.
