Verdict
OAKLEY GIRL looks the one to beat as she bids for a hat-trick. She has a 9lb hike in the weights to contend with but romped home by six lengths in this grade at Wolverhampton and may not have finished improving yet. Moon River's recent win at Southwell came in a Class 5 contest and she has been upped 10lb while Chelmsford winner India's Song also steps up a couple of grades off a higher mark. Subtle Knife has won at this level and is back on a winning mark but Lady Marl has her first start since August having landed a double at Windsor last summer.
