Zenovia looks stuck on her current mark having won at Wolverhampton in October while Arcanista scored at Windsor in the same month and has gone close here subsequently. Mercers and Spin Top are regularly in the mix without winning while both Billyoakes and Strictly Carter are back on winning marks and were placed in their respective divisions of the same handicap over track and trip last week. But NAPPING (NAP) is the least exposed and having gone close here on her handicap debut and return from a lay-off, Anabel Murphy’s filly may come out best.
