        Verdict

        There is a lot of pace in this field, which leads us to believe the winner may come from behind, and recent course and distance winner Grezie fits the bill. A number of these come here in good form, but course and distance winner Danger Zone, Ayr scorer Zendaro, Whatatodo and Cross My Shadow all like to force the pace, so there is a good chance they may cut each other's throats and set the race up for a strong finisher. Grezie did just that when winning over course and distance last month, coming home a length and a half clear of Whatatodo, and she is fancied to follow up here on just three pounds worse terms.
