Verdict

MAYBE I WILL attracted support last time when beaten at Bath but she is fancied to get back some of the losses here, at the main expense of the consistent pair of Dancing Jest and Will He Wish. The selection failed to fire at all at Bath last time which was surprising given her good record at the track previously. The handicapper has taken a pound off her handicap mark as a result which puts her back onto her last winning mark and with no ground worries, we will take her to bounce back to form. Will He Wish has won here before and the ever-green 13-year-old must be considered a major player with quick ground to his advantage, whilst Dancing Jest may appreciate the return to a mile this evening. Indy Driver has become disappointing to follow, Graceful Descent showed ability as a two-year-old but she didn't build on that at three and so she has something to prove now. Princelywallywogan and Flying Valentino are two more to consider, but in what looks an open contest it is Maybe I Will who can.
