Many of these are consistent but don't visit the winner's circle too often. Lady Clitico is interesting as she fell at the last when last seen over timber when she would have placed. A prominent racer, she should be well suited by track and ground and ran a nice race on the Flat last month when a close-up fourth at Wolverhampton. She should be spot-on now and is greatly respected but SO SATISFIED is just preferred. He's only had the five starts for a yard going places, has already shown promise on most runs and it will be disappointing if he cannot go very close off this mark with Steven Fox claiming 7lb. Sultana Belle has claims but looks in the grip of the assessor at present.
