Verdict
AAHAYGIRL is the clear pick on the ratings and should prove too good for these dropping back into maiden company and against her own sex. She could never get on terms with two smart fillies at Chester last time in a conditions event but her proximity to them leaves her the clear form pick here. Always There looks the danger to the selection on the basis of a second placing behind the smart looking Sharp Bullet on her second start. She was very disappointing at Bath subsequently but that clearly was not her running and it is possible she did not handle the tracks undulations. On ratings, Inthawain holds 4lb in hand on Always There but Mick Channon's filly may find this on the sharp side. Intikama was noted staying on at Yarmouth on debut while Swiss Lake Sweetie has one length to find on Always There after their clash at Catterick. It is possible George Baker's filly, who attracted support at big prices at Catterick could turn the form around as she started very slowly there and was noted staying on well late on. Aahaygirl should possess too much class for these though and is the selection to land the opener.
