In depth
Verdict
Tara's Honour might improve for the application of headgear. Fizzy Dancer has her sights lowered a little while a market move for Orbit Light would also be interesting. Lamanver Alchemy was second on her debut at Warwick last November but hasn't raced since. YES I DID finished ahead of Fizzy Dancer and Orbit Light when runner-up at Southwell in March and was only head inside the final furlong at Market Rasen last time. She may be tough to peg back around here. Tullow Tonic can only improve on her second at Southwell in June and could be the danger.
