Verdict
Hard Toffee won a lowly Class 7 contest over track and trip in October and remains 6lb higher but Luxford has slid down the weights and was placed over a mile at Kempton last time. HIDDEN DREAM took her time to get off the mark but beat the re-opposing River Cafe a couple of lengths over course and distance last time and is fancied to go close again in her current mood despite a 6lb rise. Mistress Nellie remains without a win but was placed over 1m4f recently while Good Impression has disappointed since going close at Kempton in October.
