Verdict

Byrd In Hand finished well ahead of Lutine Charlie at Lingfield recently and went close over 7f here before that. But WHO'S THAT CHICK makes more appeal having been denied close home by Elle Rebelle over track and trip a fortnight ago. Ralph Smith's mare can go one better despite a 2lb higher mark. Whitby Jet has the bearing of Unison on latest running at Windsor but still looks high enough in the weights.
