Verdict
There’s no recent winning form on offer though Swift Tuttle went close at Haydock before disappointing back at the same track when failing to settle. Bookmark ran poorly over track and trip last time having earlier finished second at Doncaster when Red Royalist filled the places and a speculative vote goes to SHE’S A NOVELTY. The latter returned from a lengthy layoff with a good effort at Nottingham and may finally lose her maiden tag. Both Snag It and Peripeteia posted better efforts recently and step up in trip.
