      Verdict

      BIRD FOR LIFE has had 15 starts and only two of them on Turf. She has been running well at Kempton and should transfer that form back on this surface so gets the vote in a very moderate handicap. Sanches bounced back to form at Kempton and is only 3lb higher than her victory at Lingfield in December. Garcon De Soleil gained his first victory in 17 starts on this track last month though that was on heavy going over 1m6f. Hallingham hardly ever wins but will be suited by the conditions
