Verdict
Crem Fresh, a winner on her return to action here last month, was only beaten a nose at Leicester next time but has been raised a further 4lb since. LADY GWEN’s winning run came to an end at Market Rasen 12 days ago but that was a Class 4 contest and she wasn’t beaten far. Kim Bailey‘s top weight gets the nod even though Lady Berlais got back on track when a close third at Doncaster and should be winning in this grade before long.
