Another wide open handicap here for punters to fathom but some thing has to win and the principals look to be Dispol Veleta,Queen's Echo and She's Our Lass and the tentative vote is given to Queen's Echo. The selection was a fair fourth behind Vicious Warrior last time out. That form has since been franked and from a good draw she looks a value bet in an open affair. Dispol Veleta rates the main danger as she won well last time when beating Grande Roche. Granted she has a penalty for that win but she will not be far away under conditions that suit. She's Our Lass is another that could go well on her best form but all her best form of late has come on the all-weather and she looks opposable on that basis. Lady Georgette looks well weighted for her handicap debut and with the booking of Eddie Ahern catching the eye she should be closely monitored in the market. Of the remainder Linden's Lady could go well at a price with her yard in form but she has been done no favours by the draw and with this in mind for the winner we return to Queen's Echo.
