Verdict
One More Time gets the confident vote in the opener with Nobodys Perfect and Woodford Consult rated as the main dangers. The selection ran well here when finishing second behind Gardasse on heavy ground last month. She finished well clear of the rest of the field that day and with conditions in her favour again today she should take plenty of beating. Nobodys Perfect rates as the main danger as she is eased in grade here and she is another that will relish today's ground conditions. Woodford Consult has got fair form over hurdles and is fit from a recent run on the all-weather, and as this filly hails from a shrewd yard she is certainly worth noting in the market. Artic Moss may prove best of the remainder, but for the winner we are happy to return to One More Time.
