Verdict
This won’t take much winning and GAIA VALLIS is only 3lb higher than when scoring over fences at Fontwell 10 days ago. She may not be totally suited by the drop back to 2m but has placed over hurdles so gets the nod. Lady Cylla was second at Stratford when last seen but is 0-13 now and has changed stables since. Timassini has been well below her best this term while Kimberley will probably do better when the ground dries out. Cape Fair placed over track and trip in the autumn but is fully exposed.
