Verdict
American Ladie probably doesn't win as often as she should but Jamie Snowden's mare is invariably thereabouts, though she has a bit to find with Cool Friend on their run together behind Violin Davis at Wincanton. Overyou has won at Cartmel and Hexham this season but has a lot more on her plate here and Lady Karinga is more interesting as she may have found 3m1f too far at Aintree last time having won easily over distance at Newton Abbot earlier. BENEFIQUE came unstuck trying to concede weight to Super Duty at Carlisle last time but the winner looks a decent prospect and Dan Fogarty's mare can go one better here. Uttoxeter second Little Carmela looks best of the rest.
