Verdict
Eula Varner went close over track and trip last time but that was nearly a year ago now while See The Sea ended last season with a double over 1m2f and is 3lb higher on her return. Beatbybeatbybeat landed a lower grade handicap at Wolverhampton recently but Windsor third Caledonia Duchess has yet to win anywhere in 16 attempts. ISSTOORA has raced just the once on Turf and was well beaten in soft ground at Haydock. But she’s not badly treated on her all-weather form and Archie Watson’s filly could go well on today’s faster surface.
