        Verdict

        Gnaad has been placed here before but both of this year’s wins came at Southwell, including last week’s four-length defeat of Maggi May. Tooty Fruitti was a well-beaten runner-up in a maiden at Southwell last time and preference is for JOYSUNNY. The latter was beaten only a head at Catterick on her handicap debut and Mick Easterby’s filly can go one better in this. Rebel Heart won at Chepstow last year and Ryan While’s claim allows her to race off a lower mark on her return so she's no forlorn hope.
