Verdict
Woodlands Charm will be popular as she boasts a course and distance win and arrives off the back of a good second here this month. Better Half hasn't been seen since a Chelmsford win November - the culmination of a progressive juvenile season. She's perfectly at home on Turf and it'll be interesting to see if she attracts market support. Queen Of Comedy is a likely improver on handicap bow but a chance is taken that PROCLIVITY, runner-up on all three juvenile starts and likely to make a better three-year-old, is ready for this first start since late September.
