Verdict

Klass Action has been running in handicaps since scoring at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day and showed that this was her level when narrowly beaten at Lingfield. She should get into contention from a similar mark but the concession of 7lb to SUNDIATA may prove beyond her. Charles Hills' filly has ben gradually improving and though up 6lb for landing a minor handicap at Lingfield looked to have something in hand and can complete a double. Shimmering Dawn had three runs over 7f in her first campaign without showing she had the pace for this trip but Diva D has been showing good speed over that trip and won't be inconvenienced by the drop down. Antonia Clara has had 13 starts without winning though was only two lengths behind Klass Action at Wolverhampton and is 11lb better off.
