Verdict
CHARLIETOO has been an improved sort in this modest grade on artificial surfaces of late and has strong claims off today's mark if able to transfer that progression to turf. He is narrowly preferred to the consistent if exposed Dancing Welcome. The latter wins in her turn and showed herself in good heart when hunting up Memphis Man at Salisbury recently. A repeat of that level would certainly see this reliable mare in the mix here. Crimson Queen and Talamahana are others to note, especially the former who has few miles on the clock and could find sufficient improvement to play a prominent role.
