Verdict
MARIA MONTEZ stands out in this company as she returned to winning ways in a higher grade handicap at Salisbury during the week and escapes a penalty. John Hills' filly makes more appeal than Brandywell Boy, a close-up third on the Polytrack here in March, and recent Southwell runner-up Doctor Hilary. Scommettitrice disappointed when favourite at Brighton last Monday but Microlight has claims on his earlier form at Kempton having stood little chance at the weights in a claimer on his latest start.
