Verdict
Tilsworth Charlie scored with authority last time but is on a career high mark so it may be worth taking a chance with Overwing ahead of Mugeba. The selection had been without a win since 2006 prior to her win at Leicester in June but remains well treated as a result. She was below par last time and may not appreciate too much rain but could bounce back if conditions remain on the fast side. If Tilsworth Charlie maintains this season's progress then she could go close again but her overall profile must raise doubts about that occurring and she could be worth opposing at a short price. The problem is that there isn't a great deal of strength in depth here but Mugeba tends to do her winning in the second half of the season and is on a decent mark if she can recapture her form and wouldn't be inconvenienced by rain. Tilsworth Charlie appears to hold every chance here but we're going to take a chance with Overwing.
