In depth

Verdict

Bari Bay has had plenty of chances and was wayward under pressure when third at Uttoxeter last time. Galant Star could improve on what she's shown so far now she's tried in handicaps but Doyenne Dream brings solid novice form to the table having been placed in four of her five starts over timber. She only went down by half-a-length at Fakenham on her latest start, though does have to prove she handles a softer surface. The ground won't be a problem for SHE'S HUMBLE, however, who won off this mark over fences around this time last year and has been lightly campaigned so far this winter - today could be her day.
