        Verdict

        Le Musee won easily at Southwell recently but that was in an amateurs’ race and he’s upped in class for this. Bodacious Name also won at Southwell back in November but has disappointed subsequently and NATALEENA is preferred. The latter has now won twice over course and distance having landed a more competitive contest on her latest start and Ben Haslam’s filly looks worth sticking with raised only 3lb. Major Snugfit has something to find with the selection though finished in front of Nearly There over a shorter trip here earlier.
