Verdict
Bushwise finally opened her account when scoring at Chepstow last time with Sabato back in fourth. The latter re-opposes on better terms but DNANEER is less exposed and went close over 5f at Wolverhampton on her latest start. She may prove good enough despite a high draw. Hamish Mcgonagain drops in the weights with a 5lb claimer further helping his cause while apprentice Kieran Shoemark is back on Canford Belle, who remains 5lb higher than when scoring at Kempton in September.
