Verdict
Omnivega edges this at the weights over Dante's View. The former ended last year with a placed effort at Kempton while the latter went close on several occasions and returns to action fitted with a tongue-tie. But MERRY VALE also has a shout on these terms having finished third over 1m2f at Lingfield in December. The extra distance and first-time headgear should bring further progress from the Gosden filly and she gets the vote. Mizuki is a likely improver on her reappearance representing an in-form yard while Paseo has won over hurdles since debuting on the Flat and could also go well.
