In depth
Verdict
Millyluvstoboogie and Wolf Slayer were both tough and consistent juveniles but are up against race-fit and in-form rivals on their reappearance. Lord Avon won a seller and a claimer at Wolverhampton last month but is upped in grade here and likely to struggle to concede weight all round. Fantasy Fry may also be up against it at the weights as both recent Southwell wins were in claimers. Quality Art made rather hard work of landing the odds at Kempton in January but the runner-up has scored twice since so the form is probably decent but we prefer FAIR VALUE. Simon Dow's filly was having only her second start when winning her maiden at Lingfield last month and still looked a little green. But she galloped clear of her rivals without Neil Callan having to resort to the whip and can follow up here.
