      Verdict

      River Dragon was beaten three lengths over C&D in December and races off the same mark today, while it was only a maiden Kishanda won over a shorter trip here in January and she'll find this tougher. This is also more competitive than the race Carnac won over C&D at the end of last year and Polly Holder was still beaten over four lengths when runner-up over track and trip in August. LADY BLUESKY has won three times over hurdles since she last scored on the Flat, but she's back on a winning mark now and a chance is taken she'll handle the surface and get her head back in front.
