    Verdict

    None of these inspire confidence on recent form but CINZENTO won this last year and has scored again at this level subsequently. Hannalite finished third ahead of Tilsworth Lukey the last time she raced over track and trip back in October and also finished in front of Miss Pollyanna when runner-up over 2m at Lingfield. Teemlucky looks no nearer winning after 21 attempts.
