Verdict
Eponina is the only course and distance winner in the line-up having scored on soft ground last month. He's won on fast ground in the past but disappointed at Nottingham last time. Bell Heather was beaten 4l in the first of those events but was conceding 13lb and receives weight here so should have few problems reversing the form. KITCARINA (NAP) had shown ability in France without winning before returning from a long break and making all at Kempton. Connections should be delighted with just a 2lb rise and she can complete a double. Arletta Star won on good to soft at Carlisle and is just 3lb higher so has to be considered.
