Verdict
Who's That Chick has form at the course and makes a quick reappearance after winning over 7f at Salisbury last Sunday. DARNATHEAN scored at Wolverhampton in March and won over course and distance at this time last year. He gets the nod ahead of For Shia And Lula, who has also won on this undulating track in the past. Indian Violet posted a poor effort last time having won on the Polytrack before that while Claude Greenwood has yet to show any improvement for his tumble down the weights.
