Verdict
Most of the recent form is hard to assess as it was achieved in small fields and there are question marks against much of it. Paris Dixie has a course and distance win in the book and should be all the better for a return to action last month. Brianna Rose beat a sole rival by 47 lengths in May and the second has won since to afford the form some substance. It's still hard to know what to expect from the aforementioned pair and Cresswell Queen was back to form with a win here last time too. She has no stamina doubts and receives plenty of weight all round having only been raised 3lb. HONEY I'M GOOD was impressive here last time but has never tackled this far before. Nevertheless, in a race of such ifs and buts, she's given the chance to prove her stamina around this sharp track on good ground.
