Verdict
Maiden winner Kindly has been rested since a modest handicap debut at Pontefract and may well return to form here. CAITIE has to put a more recent below par effort at Newmarket behind her but she had gone close in three starts prior to that and Paul Cole’s filly may come out best back on the all-weather. Langley Vale is upped a grade as he bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins but other track and trip winners, Slingsby and Spellmaker, still look high enough in the weights.
