Verdict

Sweet Hope can confirm superiority over Wannabe Free and is selected to finally get off the mark; Tense and Miss Mujanna are also respected and can go close if on song. Miss Mujanna made an encouraging start at Kempton three weeks ago and shapes as if a maiden is a formality for her. She will need to brush up on her stalls procedure though, so may again be best watched today. Tense showed improved form last time out and, even though she appears to be in need of a mile, she has to merit a second look in hits company. As does Wannabe Free, who appeared to be getting the hang of things when she was last seen out. However, she was no match for Sweet Hope when they met here in October and, on the same terms, it is not difficult to envisage the Kevin Ryan-trained filly coming out on top once more. The fitting of first-time blinkers may just provide the concentration aid that Sweet Hope has looked in need of in her starts so far.
