        Verdict

        Voi has won just the once in 24 starts in the all-weather though finished runner-up over track and trip last time with RUBY RED EMPRESS (NAP) back in fourth. But the latter had no luck in-running on her first outing since September and is taken to turn the tables in this. Merweb finished behind the selection but Born To Sire has found one too good at Wolverhampton the last twice and can figure again. Chelmsford winner Tebay was beaten here off today’s mark last month but River Sprite went close when last over track and trip.
