In depth
Verdict
Just Once finished runner-up over a longer trip at Yarmouth in June. It was soft going on that occasion but she’s upped in class for this while Bird To Love was also placed over further at Windsor on her handicap bow and faces a more difficult task. Sincerity and Arcadienne have more scope than the likes of Elegant Love and French Twist but BE THANKFUL gets a speculative vote in a weak contest. The latter finished third in this grade at Lingfield when last racing on soft ground and is 4lb lower today.
