Verdict
Everkyllachy won here in April when 4lb higher and could go well at a price if back on song. Oh So Nice was a little disappointing here last week but has had just the four career starts so has more scope than her rivals. Kempton third Chocco Star is also relatively unexposed but we’ll stick with last week’s Chelmsford scorer GUARDIA SVIZZERA as Paula Muir’s claim takes care of a chunk of his 7lb penalty. Griggy also has a squeak in first-time blinkers.
