      Verdict

      Ssafa will find this tougher than the handicap she won at Brighton last time while Munsarim has yet to win over further than 1m2f. GRAYSWOOD scored over today's trip at Bath in September and should have come on for a recent pipe-opener at Catterick. Bill Muir's charge has decent form on the Polytrack and can return to winning waysback on this surface. Layline is back on a winning mark if in the mood and makes most appeal of the remainder.
