Verdict

Couldn't Could She made a winning start on this surface with last month’s course and distance success. The form has worked out well with third-placed Mr Carbonator going on to score at Wolverhampton but it could pay to stick with HELEN SHERBET in this. The latter made every yard to win by over three lengths over 7f here last time and Karl Burke’s filly is taken to defy a 7lb rise. Sharp Reminder has been thereabouts this winter but debuts on the Fibresand while Ipcress File was well beaten in a maiden race here back in November.
