      Verdict

      Bunce beat Alaskan Bullet and Imperial Legend at Ayr last time but is penalised and upped in class for this. Jofranka showed signs of a return to form at Thirsk but first-time blinkers fail to boost confidence in her chances. Both Bispham Green and Algar Lad now look in the handicapper's grip and the same might be said of DA' QUONDE. But she's been competing in better company of late and a repeat of her third behind Steps in a Listed sprint at Haydock should see her bang there at the finish.
