        Verdict

        Smart Lass has already won five times around here and she looked to be coming to hand again at Thirsk last month. Carlos Felix ended a long losing run at Southwell in March and almost followed up at Wolverhampton and Billy Bathgate has also been showing consistent form on the all-weather recently. LEDNIKOV (NAP) improved after winning this off a 10lb lower mark last year. Twice a winner at Southwell over the winter, he made a promising reappearance at Kempton and may be poised for a repeat. Scottish Wind may be best of the rest.
