Verdict

Sisania was having her first start since April when a good third at Kempton last month and should be spot-on for this but Princess Midnight ran poorly over the course and distance when well supported in December and has been given a break. Drewmain Legend's only victory to date came on heavy going so he would want some rain but TIGERALLEY is one of the few here with scope and was staying on over shorter at Fontwell so looks the one to beat. Shotgun Sally has travelled a long way for this and the former point-to-pointer is tackling a more suitable trip on her handicap debut so looks one to keep an eye on.
