    Verdict

    Besairt and Santera have both hit some decent form of late but the selection here goes to TOPFLIGHT WILDBIRD. The mare had lost her way this season, but has fallen to a decent mark as a result and should be able to build on an improved effort last time out where she came in second. If she can maintain her current mood then a win here looks imminent. Santera ran with credit in defeat last time. The five-year-old should find the going plenty quick enough and another run at this trip may help her cause. Beshairt was a winner at the last time of asking. This was the mares first start for three months and there may be more to come from the five-year-old and she should be there or thereabouts at the post as long as the surface remains dry. Petit Fleur was also a winner last time out but she comes up against much tougher opposition this time. The going should suit and she can be a contender for the money. Tony McCoy will be riding Owlsbury Dream but the seven-year-old's form has been disappointing of late and a change in fortunes looks unlikely. Villochely was a winner at Uttoxeter back in March but has proved to be unreliable in the past so for the winner we cannot look beyond Topflight Wildbird.
