      Verdict

      Plenty of rain has fallen on Town Moor over the past few days and the easier ground will not suit all of these. King's Advice won an incredible eight times last year but has found life tougher in recent starts. Red Verdon doesn’t really handle going this soft but conditions won’t bother Reshoun, who could trouble higher-rated rivals. GRACE AND DANGER hasn’t won since making her debut on soft ground in 2018 but she started off last year with a fourth in the Cheshire Oaks and seemed to stay this trip at Bath in the autumn. With her fillies’ allowance, she is probably worth a speculative wager.
