Verdict
FUTOON (NAP) was placed twice over 6f here last year but had enough speed to dead-heat at Doncaster on her reappearance. She has plenty of scope for further improvement and can finish out in front on her own this evening. By Rights hasn't raced since successful at Wolverhampton in January but is equally adept on Turf. She is one of three Tony Carroll runners in this but Guishan could be more interesting as she'll relish underfoot conditions. Crombay won at Thirsk last month but only beat one home subsequently at Carlisle.
