Your Gifted won here last month but a couple of placed efforts since suggest she is high enough in the weights now. A similar comment applies to Fashion Icon, who scored here back in November but cut little ice off a higher mark last time. In contrast, CARAMELITA has slipped down the handicap and her latest neck defeat at Lingfield suggests she will be winning again soon. Placed on the Fibresand before, she gets the vote. Hypnosis may just need the run but Marshal Plat Club is not out of it on her handicap bow.
