Verdict
NYANZA was in superb form over timber at the backend of last year, landing a Listed handicap at Aintree. She has two Polytrack victories to her credit so tonight's track will hold no terrors. She's handed the vote though Cape Castle has to be a threat after her demolition job on her rivals at Wolverhampton last week - coming here with a penalty looks a sensible option. Cape Victoria looked a progressive type when gaining an easy victory at Wolverhampton but didn't appear to make the expected progress on her handicap debut at Windsor. Swan Lakes has been a bit up and down but would have an outstanding chance on her close third in a better race at Ascot last summer. Sweetheart Abbey is a course and distance winner who looked on the way back to form at Goodwood last time so isn't out of this.
