Verdict
I'll Be Good is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and will enjoy the conditions though she's run poorly since scoring at Thirsk last month. Gordon Elliott sends COZY SKY from Ireland and the filly won't get a better chance of winning a race. She found heavy going against her last time but her two previous runs suggest she can win a race of this nature. Jeffrey Harris is gradually dropping in the ratings though was beaten off this mark last time while Lydiate Lady has raced in better company the last twice and can make her presence felt in this grade.
