Verdict
Crucial Moment is upped 6lb for winning at Southwell and NEVER FOLDING wasn’t beaten that far when fifth at Kempton on last month’s handicap debut so she gets the speculative vote. Hold Me Tight needs help from the handicapper judged on recent placed efforts but Opening Time and Toolatetodelegate have scope for further progress and Henry Did It may do better this year now gelded.
