Verdict

Swiss Chocolate's two runs on Tapeta suggest she'll struggle here though she does have a bit more scope than most. Gift In Time won a similar race at Chester but has disappointed in his two latest starts while Charnock Richard doesn't appear to have made progress. Palmer is 7lb better off with Gift In Time for a two-length defeat at Chester and ran well at Beverley last time but WIRRAL GIRL has been aiming high since scoring at Beverley and can return to winning ways though the latter's stable companion Fool For You made an encouraging start at York and, with improvement guaranteed, can get into the action.
