    Verdict

    Enola Grey is making her handicap debut but is the most exposed. Swift Lioness is the only previous winner in the line-up and has been dropped a pound since her third at Newcastle but HONEYMOONER ran her best race so far over this trip at Doncaster last month so gets the vote, though Zaakara has improved with every run.
