Verdict
QUEEN SPUD won this 12 months ago and should take all the beating again. Henry Daly's mare will have needed her run at Ludlow last month and is only 3lb higher than last year. Be My Witness was behind the selection at Taunton in the autumn and hasn't raced since January, though is better off at the weights so could get closer. You've Been Mowed is still a maiden but has produced the odd decent run so could have place claims and looks the pick of the remainder ahead of Come On Harriet and Magic Money.
