      Verdict

      Major Snugfit will likely be in the mix once again having placed at Wolverhampton last time while the consistent Can Can Girl is usually thereabouts at this level having won off a 4lb lower mark here last month. Nastasiya has yet to score though represents last year’s winning yard and is preferred to Raiff but a chance is taken on LOPES DANCER returning to form. Well beaten in a couple of outings over longer trips since returning to action, Harriet Bethell’s charge can race off the same mark as when scoring over 1m4f at Wolverhampton back in April and also won over track and trip before that.
