      Verdict

      Sweet Senorita, from a stable in peak form, is impossible to oppose at these weights. She took well to fences last year, winning both starts over the larger obstacles, and before that had been a more than useful performer over timber. Her absence from the track for over a year is a worry but she is not likely to lack for fitness and if retaining a modicum of her old ability she looks to be a good thing here. There is little to choose on the book between her two main rivals, Hot To Trot and Peejay Hobbs. The latter was an impressive winner of a seller at Wolverhampton and not disgraced when runner-up in handicap company last time , so is probably a slightly safer option. Hot To Trot put up a good run in better company at Stratford last time, but cannot be guaranteed to reproduce that here, despite dropping in class.
