Verdict
Single Track Mind and Theatre Lady are likely to dominate the market here with our vote going to the latter. The David Evans-trained mare is a course winner over 10 fulrongs but has won at a mile. She comes here with reasonable recent form and has also gone well for today's rider. As such, she should go well. Single Track Mind rates an obvious danger as he too has recent track form and, interestingly, is fitted with cheekpieces today. Of the others, Lady Liesel and Littleton Zephir have run well in this type of event before, and Robin Sharp can be given a big chance if running to the best of his form of the last 12 months. It's not a strong event overall though, and Theatre Lady ought to go close.
