In depth

Verdict

Four Nations had Oneofapear behind when scoring over 2m here last month but then ran poorly when favourite at Chepstow. TOPALING's winning run came to an end off this mark here in February but she wasn't disgraced and was taking on slightly better company than this over the winter. She could well bounce back after a short break as there doesn't look a lot to choose between Lacey, Nolecce and Oly'Roccs on the form book. The latter pair were first and second over 1m4f here last month.
