Verdict

Takeachanceonme has been placed twice on heavy ground over 1m this year so may not be suited dropping back a furlong on a quicker surface. NATURAL WOMAN would also have preferred some cut in the ground but she did win easily over track and trip last month, when Belezza Oscura was a well-beaten third, and didn't fare badly when fifth on her handicap debut. Kevin Prendergast's filly is preferred to last month's Leicester winner Maontri and the returning Antiquus. Que Sera Sera is also back in action following a lengthy break.
