    Verdict

    Lady Cricketer is easily dismissed but the remainder all arrive on the back of wins. An 8lb rise for Megaleka may well scupper her chances of following-up a victory at Nottingham while both Pastureyes and Honeymoon Express will find this tougher than the maidens they won at Brighton and this track respectively. The latter had earlier fallen victim to BLESSING BOX who beat a subsequent dual winner over track and trip last time. Chris Wall's filly looks capable of following-up on that evidence and gets the nod.
