In depth

Verdict

Mabel Tasman has been rested since pulling up at Aintree in December but would have claims on an earlier second at Wincanton. A Little Swifter warrants respect as she won a Clonmel maiden hurdle in the autumn and landed a jumpers' bumper at Southwell earlier this month while Sussex Sunset is consistent and sure to be thereabouts again. Kindly Note has been a little disappointing so far, however, unlike STEADY GIRLFRIEND who ran Queen's Bay to six lengths on her debut under Rules at Towcester. The winner now has a rating of 123 and a repeat of that effort would probably see Anthony Honeyball's mare in the winner's enclosure.
