Eva Gore returned to form at the weekend and won a seller over 6f at Redcar on Saturday. She should go close again but Bath winner LITTLE NOSEGAY drops in class after running well when second in a handicap at Ffos Las recently. David Evans’ filly gets the nod to go one better in this. Course and distance winner King Of Castilla has a bit to find on these terms and the remainder are even harder to fancy.
