In depth

Verdict

She's Gina looks a progressive sort and is only a pound higher than when second at Wincanton last month. She’ll handle conditions and has to go on the short-list. Llantara was a very easy winner on heavy going at Towcester 12 days ago but has been hit with an 11lb rise which means she is now 3lb worse off than when beaten five lengths by SHROUGHMORE LASS (NAP) at Chepstow in November. Henry Oliver’s mare has been placed twice since that run and holds Sue Be It on Plumpton running so looks ready to score again. Flight To Nowhere beat a subsequent winner at Chepstow last month but is now 10lb higher.
