        Verdict

        Sahafh had Galloping Queen just behind when runner-up on her reappearance at Bath last month and will have come on for the outing. However, the same can be said of the less exposed WATNEYA, who was having only her second run when third at Kempton last week. She should be a lot sharper here and Willie Haggas' filly gets the nod. Dan's Martha landed her maiden on the Polytrack in December and she'll be winning again this year, while Fenella Fudge also has claims on the best of last season's form.
