Verdict
Vena Amoris makes most appeal of those with recent form as she had Coupland Lass well behind when third at Wolverhampton last time. Bright Girl finished last on her recent debut while Jumeirah Palm Star will need to step up on her turf form on her first start since August, though Shame On You looks likely to appreciate the extra distance having finished third over 6f at Doncaster on her introduction in November. BERWIN hasn't raced since September when a close-up third over today's trip at Kempton but she gets the nod with that experience to draw on.
