Verdict

Narcissist has only raced on Polytrack and is making his handicap debut while Exning Halt has been looking one-paced and is high enough in the weights, a remark that also applies to Light Zabeel. Ukrainian Princess has shown her best form on fast ground and Voice From Above has only raced over a mile. Dansili Dutch would have no problems winning this on her easy victory over today's rival MISS ELLA JADE at Pontefract in June but she's been virtually tailed off on her two latest starts and the runner-up has since gone from strength-to-strength. This trip and ground with some give suits her best and she can gain her second success despite being 1lb out of the handicap.
