Verdict

Just 3lb on official ratings separates this quintet and none are discounted with any confidence. However, Maggie Mey has yet to tackle this trip, Fenella Fudge continues to be somewhat frustrating and Luv U Too needs to improve on her seasonal reappearance and is also facing this trip for the first time. There are no such stamina doubts surrounding Royal Hush but it was only a modest maiden in which she scored last time at Musselburgh. She's likely to improve again, but IMAGINARY WORLD has plenty of really solid handicap form in the book and deserves a change of luck. Trip and ground are fine and the McCabe charge could well represent value against the likely market leader.
