Verdict
Ice Shadow is the most recent winner though that was back in July when successful at Nottingham. Spirit Of Ash scored here in June and returns for the first time since but BALQAA hasn’t won since this time last year, though that was over track and trip. She’s finally returned to the same mark and gets a speculative vote. Calcutta Dream can do better back on this surface and is preferred to Irv
