Verdict
WADACRE GRACE won on Polytrack at Kempton before placing at Wolverhampton and gets another chance back on this surface. Ravenglass has yet to win on the all-weather but found only one too good over 7f at Wolverhampton while Nikki‘s Girl won at the latter track back in August. Kimifive scored off a similar mark at Epsom during the summer but is another looking for a first win on the all-weather.
