Verdict

Lady Lunchalot is hard to catch right but beat Young Dottie easily enough here in February. She is only 2lb higher today but too unreliable to have much confidence in so it could pay to concentrate on those returning to action. Shining Glitter won a maiden over 1m4f at Kempton in October and Special Miss scored over a mile at Sandown but is 6lb higher today. If I Were A Boy landed a double at Windsor last summer and could go well but STARLIT CANTATA won over track and trip in June and gets a speculative vote off only a 2lb higher mark on her reappearance.
