    Verdict

    Flintara just got the better of Spitfire Girl at Uttoxeter in December but the runner-up hasn’t done much for the form since and Richard Bandey’s mare is 7lb higher in this stronger contest. JERSEY LADY showed signs of coming to hand at Doncaster last month and drops down a grade for this. Lady Wilberry is still a maiden but looks the danger having placed three times this term. Second to the in-form Lone Star at Newcastle last time, Shesupincourt is also entitled to be thereabouts.
