Verdict
Plansina is only 2lb higher than when successful over track and trip last week but PROSILI looks set to open her account. The latter finished a close-up fourth when sent off favourite here last time and has an apprentice’s allowance in her favour on this occasion. Melgate Majeure won over 1m2f at Newcastle in January while Music Major has placed at Lingfield recently. Final Attack is not out of this while Tundra and Epic Challenge have both placed over a mile at the track and Ephemeral debuts for new connections having failed to win in France.
