In depth

Verdict

India's Song is reasonably consistent and just sneaks into this after being lowered 2lb from her last run here. Farletti scored at Chepstow in the summer but hasn't made the expected progress while J'aspire didn't show much on her Polytrack debut at Lingfield. CLARY completed a quick hat-trick in September and though failing to score since she's been running well enough to get back on the winning trail. Venus Grace is still a maiden after 19 starts though she's run her best races on this track and has to be respected.
