In depth
Verdict
Forge Valley Lady put up a much-improved performance to win on turf at Southwell last time, coming with a well-timed run to win a shade cosily. She still appears to be on a fair mark and gave the impression this extra furlong should suit. Anyhow has been in fair form on the all-weather recently but seems handicapped to the hilt on turf, and a more likely threat could come from Santisima Trinidad, who won four times last year but may be better over seven furlongs.
