Verdict
Neither Geblah nor Invent looked like winning last season and though better is expected this year, this looks between Monster Munchie and FLYING PHOENIX. The former opened her account at Wolverhampton last month and should make another bold bid here, but the latter scored by six lengths from a subsequent winner at the same track last time and a follow-up looks on the cards from Willie Haggas' filly.
