      Verdict

      The three-year-olds get 13lb from the older fillies at this time of year but that doesn’t rule out the likes of Aristocratic, who was finishing second to the useful Persuasion at Goodwood around this time 12 months go, and Kempton winner Nightingale Valley. Pepita got off the mark at Kempton in February and Cheval Blanche has won on both Turf and Polytrack. RELY ON ME made giant strides from a modest debut last year when making all over 6f at Doncaster on Bonfire Night. There should be more fireworks this year on that evidence as she looks well treated at present.
