Verdict

Last week's Wincanton second Enchanting Smile will probably find at least one too good again, even though this is a less-than-inspiring contest. Winning pointer Maxford Lady showed little on her debut under Rules but Northern Meeting wasn't beaten far over this trip at Chepstow and has to go on the short-list, though Reillys Daughter wasn't beaten far at the Welsh track and has been well beaten since. PRESENT TREND has shown signs of ability and could get her head in front today with Flat winner Rainbow Beauty also expected to go well on ground that will suit.
