Verdict
A tight little handicap with most entering the fray in good form but MILLIBAR looks the one to be on with her feather weight. Nick Littmoden's filly has won twice on Turf - both over today's C&D - and might have won more easily last month but for failing to get a clear run. Alice's Dancer could hardly have been more impressive than when scoring by 6l at Goodwood in a first-time hood and if the headgear works again then she'll obviously be a major threat. Show Flower loves soft ground and is in superb form so even a 5lb rise for her victory at Ayr shouldn't prevent another big run. Gabriel's Lad's only success so far has been on Polytrack but there was much to like about his second to Sholaan in a much better race on soft ground at York and he looks the main threat.
