Verdict
This is quite competitive and plenty look to have decent claims. Yensi enters the argument as she's lightly-raced and won by six lengths at Windsor last time. Jordaura has more to do than when landing a Wolverhampton seller, but Gallego won well under Rachel Kneller at Salisbury last time and still isn't badly treated while Rock Anthem is well handicapped on last year's form and shaped with more promise last time. WISEMAN'S DIAMOND still looks to be heading in the right direction, however, and can follow up her win on soft ground at Newcastle as she handles this faster surface with equal aplomb. Kempton third Two Certainties may be the pick of the remainder.
