Perfecimperfection hasn't won nor raced on soft ground and she's been beaten off this mark the last three times. Shagalla won at Wolverhampton in November but has shown nothing subsequently so this could be a question of whether BIRDCAGE WALK handles the conditions. Hugo Palmer's filly is making her handicap debut after three promising runs on good going, the latest when attempting to make all over a mile at Windsor and staying on well when headed. Tronada reappeared with a fair run at Goodwood and is on a reasonable mark so should get competitive while Teodora De Vega looks the type to be suited by the conditions and stays the trip.
