Verdict
Most of these would probably struggle to win a seller but top weight Rosie Royale is an exception, though she's yet to show anything on artificial surfaces. Chepstow fifth Lucky Diva is 0-17 on the all-weather and there also question marks about Nottingham second Hier Encore back on Polytrack. By contrast, all three of LUCKY DOTTIE's victories have come here. We'll have to take a chance on her stamina over this trip but she's won over1m5f and been placed over hurdles so it's probably a gamble worth taking. Lily Edge, another Polytrack specialist, might also have a squeak.
