Carolinae beat Yeah Baby Yeah at Kempton 12 days ago to gain a deserved victory and she should confirm the form, despite worse terms. She’d also finished ahead of Bint Arcano and Pattie at Wolverhampton earlier so will be hard to keep out of the firing-line. Make Music was beaten over this trip at Lingfield by Pattie and re-opposes on worse terms while course and distance winner Castle Hill Cassie is having her first run since October. MADE OF HONOUR was making her all-weather debut when returning from a break to win at Lingfield. She also has useful form on more galloping tracks and, as there should be more to come, gets the nod to score again having only been raised 3lb.
