Verdict
Cute N You Know It has the form to win this at the expense of Named At Dinner and Fast Fred. The selection at least has some form figures to her name which is more that can be said about most of her rivals. She was an eye catching third of thirteen at Wetherby last time out for which she was raised one pound for. She carries top weight which is not ideal but this being a lady riders race has the most experienced lady rider on board in Rose Davidson. She has more ticks in her boxes than most so is difficult to oppose. Named At Dinner has only ever won once form fifty five outings but that said he has been running well in defeat lately and could once again get placed if putting his best foot forward. Fast Fred is another that ran well enough last time out to suggest that he could be in the prize money but for the winner we return to Cute N You Know It.
