Aahgowangowan is in the form of her life right now and off the same mark as when a ready winner at Thirsk on Friday the Michael Dods-trained in foal mare is hard to oppose so gets the vote ahead of Extremely Rare and Linda Green. The last mentioned won this event 12 months ago but is still 5lbs higher despite only having won once from numerous opportunities since then. Hello Roberto would have claims on the form shown when successful at Salisbury but disappointed off today's mark at Newmarket last time. Mimiteh may do better back over this trip and she makes more appeal than Chris Wall's Rosapenna who ran no sort of race at Haydock last time. Aahgowangowan can do little wrong at present though and she gets the vote to win again.
