In depth
Verdict
Qeethaara has won three times over a mile here this year and is not easily dismissed despite a below-par effort last time, but PERFECT CH'I makes more appeal. Ian Woods' mare showed signs of a return to form when runner-up over C&D a week ago and looks set to strike off her current mark which is 2lb lower than when she scored here last year. Polar Auroras remains without a win, though she's usually thereabouts at this level, while February's 6f winner Cut The Cackle is another capable of making the frame.
