        Verdict

        WIBBADUNE can follow up last week's success at Lingfield to land this, with the main rivals expected to be Piscean and Madam Hoi. She was among the top weights last time out, and has a 6 pound penalty for that win, but finds herself well in here, with this being a tougher contest. Piscean isn't always the quickest away which has been a problem, but a decent break saw him land the spoils on his penultimate run. Subsequently he was well down the field in a much better race at Doncaster. You may know your fate very early on with him. Madam Hoi has yet to get her nose in front, but was third on her all-weather debut in a listed race at Kempton. Somewhat inconsistent, she'll need everything to fall in place to be first home. Quite a few have chances, but we'll be siding with Wibbadune.
