        Verdict

        Surewecan was placed yet again at Wolverhampton during the week while Star of Spring regularly makes the frame but has yet to win. Opt Out ended last season with a course and distance success and could go well but Salvatore Fury has not raced over this longer trip since his two-year-old days. MAUREB (NAP) has a couple of placed efforts on the all-weather under her belt and won a higher grade contest at Carlisle last year. Tony Coyle’s filly may well be up to landing this off her current mark.
