      Verdict

      Though Forever A Lady’s win at Carlisle last month came on fast ground, she handles some cut. Moi Aussie steps up a couple of grades after winning twice at Yarmouth and could be found wanting off her new mark while Bahamian Bird came unstuck off her current rating at York after scoring at Catterick. BUSH BEAUTY won this last year after overcoming trouble in-running. She is 6lb higher now but has been running better recently than form figures would suggest so could lands the spoils again.
