Verdict

Durova can land this at the expense of Wicked Wilma and Queens Fortune. The selection has a string of seconds to her name but has been a touch unlucky in defeat. She was not disgraced last time out when second to Abbey Road at Ripon and has conditions this time around to suit so will take all the beating. Wicked Wilma has finished third on both starts to date but caught the eye on her latest run behind Inflagranti. With more improvement on the way she holds every chance. Queens Fortune should also be noted as Mick Channon has to be watched when he runs one at the Scottish venue so she is one to note in the market. But for the winner we return to Durova.
