Verdict
Anna Montana was fancied to gain her first all-weather success here last month but fluffed her lines and will need to do better. Elusive Express, who finished in front of her that day, can do so again and looks set for a big run but Solar Sail's only success on the track came over 1m3f. Bramante is an obvious threat to all after his fine recent run behind Lily's Star in which Cool Athlete, who runs in the previous race, was just in front. LIFT THE GLOOM was having his first start for over two years when fourth at Wolverhampton recently. He was well supported that day and losses can be recovered from what looks a tempting mark.
