Verdict
This looks tricky as Mia Tesoro has been raised 7lb since completing her hat-trick at Salisbury. Leicester second Marcle probably has similar claims on today's terms while Entrench is interesting making her handicap debut. She has an excellent pedigree and a win would boost her paddocks value. COSMIC STORM only won an amateurs' race at Salisbury earlier this month but a line through the second suggests she may have the measure of Mia Tesoro. Chepstow scorer Prim And Proper and The Salmon Man look the pick of the older horses.
