Verdict
Reggae Star carries a penalty for her comeback victory at Bath. But she wasn't unduly troubled when scoring by six lengths and looks the one to beat on that evidence. ICE PIE may be up to it though, as she finished a promising third in a higher grade handicap at Thirsk on her return. Normal progress should see Tom Dascombe's filly in the mix and she gets the nod. Auction opened her account in a Lingfield maiden race earlier this month while Oilinda ran well on her handicap debut in April. Both have more scope than Girl Of Cadiz who just got the better of the re-opposing Tight Fit on the Polytrack recently.
