    Verdict

    Archie Watson looks to have found a good opportunity for HEED THE CALL. She’s penalised for an earlier win at Kempton but remains clear of the rest on these terms with her ability to handle soft going the only worry. Indication Spirit won at Musselburgh recently but has nearly a stone to find with the likely favourite while Little Miss Peppi and Nana's Ancestors showed little on their respective debuts.
