In depth

Verdict

Bint Dandy went close at Lingfield last time and beat FIRST EXPERIENCE at the same track back in December. But the latter re-opposes on much better terms and is taken to come out best on this occasion. India's Song is holding her form well and won at Kempton the last time she competed over today's distance while Subtle Knife was placed over track and trip on her latest start and has the beating of Venus Grace on collateral form.
