Verdict
Few can boast solid recent form in a moderate contest and this looks a good opportunity for Gladys Aylward while Kustom Kit For Her, Toumai and Treaty Of Utrecht have place claims. Tim Easterby's filly is a previous course and distance winner and hinted at a return to winning ways when third in a fair Thirsk handicap last time. The daughter of Polar Falcon takes a significant ease in grade and should prove hard to beat from a favourable low draw. Kustom Kit For Her stepped up on previous efforts when a fair fourth behind a useful yardstick in a maiden at Southwell last time but her overall form suggests she was flattered on that occasion while Toumai ran respectably last time but has plenty to find with the selection on these terms. Treaty Of Utrecht was a useful performer as a juvenile and appears to have every chance at the weights but has shown nothing in two starts this term to warrant support.
