Verdict

A winner over a mile at Chelmsford, Alma Linda never figured on an earlier attempt over track and trip and has something to prove on that evidence. SHREWDNESS (NAP) has failed to build on an earlier second to the progressive Bella Vita over 1m2f at Lingfield but may well improve now handicapping for the first time and the Haggas filly is taken to open her account. Little India has finished thereabouts the last twice now and should be in the mix again while Characteristic could get involved if lasting home but My Dear Friend has struggled since returning from a lay-off and gets first-time blinkers.
