In depth
Verdict
A very interesting nursery with a number to consider, but the vote goes to Wendy's Girl. Her latest run when fourth at Chester last time reads well and Kevin Darley is an interesting booking. Mac Love's form has dropped off in his last two runs and, although he comes here fresh, might just need the outing. Birikina has also been beaten twice since a Hamilton win. Mirasol Princess will find this a bit easier than in her last two outings and could go well as she looked promising before that. The consistent Johnny Parkes and the all-weather winner Mrs Moh are others who will have supporters but, in a tricky event, Wendy's Girl; can be the one.
