Verdict

In a tight handicap, Kerriemuir Lass might provide the answer and is selected ahead of Wannabee Posh and Fear To Tread. Simonda has dropped to a reasonable mark if getting her best form of a year ago back; Island Odyssey is lightly raced and holds potential for further improvement; Spinning Coin is still competitive based on her best 2005 form; Kerriemuir Lass proved her mettle by giving Dayrose a fright at Haydock; it was no disgrace for Wannabe Posh to find only Counterpunch too good at Windsor last time; Quantum, Adraaj and Candle are all open to improvement and, even under a three-pounds rise, Fear To Tread comes into things based on her Warwick win. All in all, it is a competitive race, with the selection being Kerriemuir Lass.
