Verdict
The in-form Arctic Flower holds strong claims on the back of her latest Lingfield success. She did that with plenty in hand early in the wee and, from the same mark, must be high on the list. She is now at a different track however and, with potential opposition for the lead in the shape of Sandy Shores , she might be worth taking on. If that duo get into a battle, it might set things up for those behind. LOVE ME AGAIN shown some promise lately at Yarmouth and Nottingham and might be worth taking a chance on switched to handicapping. Conqueress is also worth considering having posted two good runs at Haydock last month.
