Verdict

Zabeel Star won an all-weather bumper here in February while Le Musee scored over today’s trip at Southwell in January. But both finished behind NATALEENA on their respective latest outings with Ben Haslam’s filly finishing third on both occasions. A dual winner over course and distance, she looks sure to run her race and that may prove good enough in this company. Accessor is now 8lb higher than when successful at Southwell earlier this year and Londonia was well beaten off today’s mark last time having also won on the Fibresand before that.
