Verdict
Not an easy race to work out and Lady Stratagem is nominated as a sporting each-way selection. Looking at the field. Woodwind Down has at least won a race at around today's mark, which is more than can be said for most of the others. Irish raider Miss Egypt holds chances based on her Downpatrick second to Floreen last time. Fellow Irish raider She's My Girl also has to be considered at this level although her best form is over further and she stays three miles. Katies Dolphin was beaten in a seller last time but Lady Stratagem comes into the argument based on her fair sixth to Polished at Hexham in a handicap hurdle last time. Much as we would not be confident, a repeat of that type of effort might just prove good enough today, and she gets the vote.
