Verdict
STREET FORCE finally came good when scoring by a wide-margin in a maiden over 7f here last month. It's no surprise to see him raised 10lb but doubts surround today's chief rivals and Mike Appleby's charge is taken to go in again. Bedloe's Island has slid down the weights but has done all of his winning over 5f so far while Abi Scarlet is a prolific course winner but her last couple of wins came in plating company and she was well beaten back in a handicap last time. Ben Hall struggled for most of last year and hasn't raced since September while Daylight also returns from an absence and makes his debut at the track.
