This looks close between WICKER and Narjes at the weights. But the former is the less exposed and may just edge out her main rival on the back of a third over track and trip. Line Of Beauty has plenty to find as she drops back in distance having failed to show her form on the Fibresand at Southwell last time while Ronni Layne has an even tougher task on these terms and Lunar Mist has shown little over longer trips so far.
