Verdict

Act Your Shoe Size represents the classic generation in this Listed contest but she needs to step up again on wins at Carlisle and Thirsk if she's to complete the hat-trick. Four-year-olds have the best record in this race and DRAGONERA can enhance that as she only found the useful Set To Music too strong when tackling this grade for the first time at Warwick and is guaranteed to see out every yard of this trip on the ground, unlike Raasekha. Mid Mon Lady and Myplacelater look held by the selection on Warwick running.
