Verdict
Three-year-old handicaps can be tricky at this stage of the campaign but the formbook suggests that WEDDING DATE can be relied upon to run her race and the Dandy Man filly is taken to gain compensation for a narrow last-time defeat at Wolverhampton. Stablemate Enchanted Linda should be all the better for her reappearance run and is respected along with the likes of the match-fit Key To Power and the relatively-unexposed Autumn Flight. However, the main danger could well be True Hero, who showed respectable juvenile form for William Haggas and shaped well on his first start for the Tinkler stable when a decent third at Nottingham on similar going.
