Verdict

College Oak, who won twice in the early part of the season, was returning from a break when third at Plumpton and should strip fitter here. Trump Lady was a winner over this trip at Warwick in December but is also penalised and that may open the door for SHENTRI, who should appreciate a further step up in distance having stayed on one pace at Sedgefield a couple of weeks ago.
