Verdict
She'sasupermack led over the last at Cartmel last month and won off a higher mark over fences last season. CATCHMEIFYOUCAN (NAP) also placed at that fixture and that was a welcome return to form from Jennie Candlish’s mare, who can go one better here. Exeter winner Singapore Saga finished last at Worcester when favourite but At First Glance is worth second look as she looked ready for a step up in distance when second over 2m6f at Ffos Las at the start of April.
