Verdict

A tougher task seems to await MAKE MUSIC here but she did look a filly improving with every race when obliging smoothly at Lingfield last time and Joshua Bryan, who has ridden a couple of nice winners recently as he sets out on his career, claims a very handy 7lb. Similarly David Egan's claim will assist the chances of Easter Mate and it would not surprise should the pair at the head of the weights scrap this one out. La Celebs Ville has an each-way chance off bottomweight and Richard Fahey has a couple of decent chances courtesy of Sunnua and Bell Heather, who are preferred in that order.
