Verdict

ITOLDYOU was runner-up over a shorter trip here last month with Matrow’s Lady back in fourth. Linda Jewell’s charge can finally take advantage of a slide down the weights having won over course and distance in the past. Matrow’s Lady looks the biggest threat once again as the remaining trio all arrive out of form with What Larks preferred having finished in front of Canyouhearmenow when well beaten in fourth at Lingfield last time.
