Verdict
The three-year-old Heatherdown gained her only success at Wolverhampton in January and she's now 1lb lower despite a very good run here last time. Voice of A Leader landed a very lowly handicap over the course and distance last time, coming with a smooth run to catch Cat Royale, and can confirm placings despite being 4lb worse off. QUEMONDA showed nothing in the spring but it was a different matter over the course and distance earlier this month when she defied a 33/1 SP to score with plenty in hand. She's up 3lb but a similar effort will see her hard to beat. Gerry The Glover is on a very long losing run but is on his lowest ever mark on his 42nd start.
