Verdict
Elidore, Tequila Sheila and Lighted Smile are the three to look at here and Tequila Sheila is taken to land another success. Elidore runs here regularly and won twice here last year. She was run out of it in the closing stages last time and looks well treated as she has been coming down the handicap after a winless run. She is not well drawn here and that may count against her. With one win in fifteen races Lighted Smile looks one to take on. However, that win was on her most recent start in France in a claimer, and the handicapper has had to take a bit of a guess with her. She could finish last or first and perhaps the handicapper will be the most interested spectator. The trip is two furlongs shorter than she won over so she is taken on. Tequila Sheila represents Karl Burke and after wins at Thirsk and Catterick she ran well to be third at Yarmouth last time. Her form is solid for this grade, and with possible heavy showers forecast which would help her cause, Tequila Sheila can score again.
