Verdict
Difficult to be confident about any of these. Candelita has won a maiden hurdle but never threatened in a couple of starts on the Flat last month and Ace Serve hasn't raced since June though her fourth at Chepstow looks the best form on offer. Toymaker is another returning from a lengthy absence, while both Punta Baluarte and Somerset Island were still well beaten despite finishing third at this track on their latest starts. GODWIT may well prove good enough on her belated debut given today's modest opposition and the fact that one of her five winning relatives scored on this surface and she gets the nod.
