Whitecrest and Major Valentine are consistent sorts who can be relied upon to be thereabouts but both face UNDER THE COVERS who looks potentially well treated. The filly made all under a penalty last week to score impressively and she is due to race off a 5lb higher mark in future. That makes her difficult to oppose with this quick track suited to her style of running.
