    Verdict

    Frontline Girl flattered briefly when third at Ayr last Saturday but looks vulnerable off the same mark here. Princess Lexi came back to form when scoring at Pontefract but she has a penalty to carry in this and all of her wins have come over a mile. Captivator's win at Wolverhampton and Doncaster came three months apart and she's had another break since. James Fanshawe's filly must also defy a 7lb higher mark as must Destiny Of A Diva, who won at Leicester earlier this month. BABYCAKES could only finish third off this mark at Doncaster earlier in the month but that was a better race than this and it would be no surprise if Michael Bell's filly opened her seasonal account today.
