Verdict
Brighton winner WHY NOT NOW should be thereabouts again, despite the penalty, though she has yet to encounter soft ground. She does, however, appear to have the beating of Heartstrings and Purple Spot on a line through Mick Channon's charge. Honiton Lace only won a seller at Yarmouth earlier this month while Forest Glen disappointed when favourite at Brighton and didn't appear to stay when tried over 7f on the Polytrack.
