Verdict
This fillies' handicap can go the way of Firespin; Midnight Fling and Rosie Says No are the dangers. The selection looks to be on a fair mark at present and she galloped-on strongly last time at Great Leighs. She showed that day that her turn would not be far away and she can go close. Midnight Fling was making her all-weather debut at Southwell last time and she wasn't disgraced in third behind Great Charm. She was returning from a lengthy break that day so she should strip fitter here and she is respected. Rosie Says No won a handicap a couple of runs ago and she went close last time, so in her current mood she should be capable of again making the frame. Requisite is a course and distance winner and booking of Seb Sanders catches the eye, but this is a trappy contest and narrow preference is for Firespin.
