Verdict
Massini's Dream has been thereabouts in testing ground recently though earlier efforts on faster surfaces don’t boost confidence while Artichoke Heart had been threatening over shorter trips before well beaten over 3m at Ludlow. That's My Dubai and Raddle And Hum are both upped in distance on the back of placed efforts but VERSIFIER (NAP) ran well for third over an extended 3m at Doncaster last month. That form looks solid enough with the runner-up subsequently winning and she looks to have leading claims in a less competitive affair. Banrion Scairp missed the whole of last year but is worth noting handicapping for the first time on her reappearance.
