Verdict

Colonial Classic was last seen running in a Listed race at Yarmouth in October but she is still 5lb higher than for her last win in 2016. Di Alta is only 3lb higher than when successful over course and distance last summer but also lacks a recent outing. ALWAYSANDFOREVER has only won a Brighton maiden so far but is unexposed and has had a pipe-opener, finishing third in novice stakes at Wetherby. She was only beaten half-a-length by the smart Coronet on debut at Leicester last year and is the one to beat on that form.
