A fairly competitive finale but Tight Squeeze has plenty in her favour and is preferred to Pongee and Most-Saucy. Peter Hiatt's Tight Squeeze has proved a model of consistency over the course and distance and put up her best performance to date when a five-length winner here last time. The daughter of Petoski has been raised 10lb since but the form has been boosted by the runner-up since and this bold front runner could prove hard to peg back under her useful apprentice. Pongee represents an in-form yard and comes here in good form after justifying favouritism at Yarmouth last time. However, she had little to spare and lack all-weather experience so looks opposable. Recent Southwell winner Most-Saucy may find the step back to ten furlongs on the sharp side nowadays while Weecandoo has a string of placed efforts to her name but looks weighted up to her best at present.
