Verdict
Funny Girl appears better suited by this trip than further having narrowly been denied at Kempton last week and has obvious claims off the same mark. Looking For Love is well treated on her best form and deserves a change of luck having put up a string of placed efforts in similar company while Ladywell Blaise may have been flattered by her win over course and distance earlier in the month judged on her most recent effort.
