Verdict

Flight To Nowhere was a fair fourth at Hereford after winning at Chepstow. Lucca Lady would have a chance if fully wound-up for her return to action and a case can also be made for She's Gina. Hijran won under Jason Dixon at Bangor and is only 3lb higher while Passing Call probably deserves to get her head in front having found only one too good in her last five starts – she also makes her handicap debut. Aine O’Connor has already steered LITTERALE CI to a win at Ludlow and a third at Wincanton. Her mount clearly goes well on sharp tracks and the quicker surface won’t be a problem. All Our Love is eased in grade and is another to consider.
