Verdict

Ballyshane Spirit can land the finale, with Mark Of Love, Princess Zada and Forced Upon Us others to consider. Ballyshane Spirit has been in quite good form on the all-weather during the winter, and ran really well from 3lb out of the handicap when a close second to Alfresco at Lingfield last time. With Kirsty Milczarek able to take 7lb off his back today, Neville Callaghan's charge must have leading claims in a race that will take little winning. Mark Of Love stayed on nicely when fourth at Lingfield 17-days ago and should at least make his presence felt, while Princess Zada will come on for the run, and based on last year's efforts, makes slightly more appeal than stablemate Anthea. Forced Upon Us shaped as though he would have no trouble with today's trip when staying on well at the finish over seven furlongs at Wolverhampton. That was his first outing since December, and he too is worth a mention. However, we shall remain loyal to Ballyshane Spirit.
