Verdict
AT A CLIP and Winter Song are a couple of unexposed winners on Turf who can fight this out with preference just for the former. She started favourite on her debut at Newbury but found 7f and soft ground against her. Again well supported here earlier this month, she was always up with the pace and stayed on strongly for a convincing success. Winter Song was unfancied and well beaten on her debut at Nottingham but must have caught someone's attention as she was well supported when scoring at Newmarket. There's more to come and she looks certain to go well as does Bright Glow, who has progressed with every run and was always in the firing line when scoring over 7f at Kempton. Elusive Gold made a successful reappearance over the track and trip last month and looks reasonably handicapped but Sylvia Pankhurst will find it difficult carrying a penalty for last week's Wolverhampton victory.
