      Verdict

      BOLLIN DOLLY is 3lbs better off with Aphrodisia for a two-length deficit at Doncaster and can turn the tables today, with Some Sunny Day another short-listed. The last-named races over her optimum trip of 1m 2f and she also has her preferred going. From the same mark of 74 as when close to winning at Lingfield last time you would have to think that she can again get heavily involved. Aphrodisia is clearly a serious player today. The Ian Williams-trained mare was winning her Doncaster race for the second year in succession, also over 10f, and on fast ground. Her reward for that is a career-high mark of 80, and she will have to work hard to follow-up. Bollin Dolly might be the one to lower her colours. Tim Easterby's seven-year-old goes well here and on good to firm. She is 4lbs higher than when scoring over course and distance in October and with the stable going well enough we will just give her the edge. Umverti likes this track and trip but recent form leaves her a bit to prove, Antigua Sunrise is better over further than this, and we'll stick with Bollin Dolly.
