Verdict
Misplaced Fortune's only win so far this year came at Ripon in May but she's holding her form well and was beaten less than a length in a decent handicap at Doncaster last week. Nigel Tinkler's mare won't be far away again. My Sharona needs to bounce back from a below-par effort at Salisbury, however, while Dancheur was more than two lengths behind Jade when a beaten favourite at Nottingham last month, though is 6lb better off here. Love Island will make a bold bid for her hat-trick and Meandmyshadow continues to go well but shot up the weights before finishing third at Redcar and could find a couple of these too good. PEARL DIVA has taken a while to come to herself this year but ran the smart Lily's Angel to half-a-length in a Listed race at Newmarket as a two-year-old and would go very close in this if reproducing that effort - she gets a tentative vote.
