In depth
Verdict
Novabridge won here last time beating A J Cook and Arctic Lynx in the process. He’s upped 3lb but remains on a winning mark compared to earlier successes. Kodimoor was ahead of Roy's Legacy when going close at Wolverhampton but remains without a win in 17 attempts and SLIM CHANCE is preferred. The latter was beaten less than a length over course and distance last month and can reverse running with the winner, Lady Joanna Vassa, on today’s revised terms. Windforpower is back on a winning mark and maiden winner Lotara has slipped 10lb down the weights since September.
