Verdict
There are three last time out winners lining up for the finale in the shape of Aquarius Star, Calipatria and Red Intrigue with the second mentioned looking the most interesting of the trio having won her maiden here over a mile last month and she has to be of interest off a mark of 77 first time in a handicap. The Michael Jarvis-trained Dylanesque should appreciate the step up to nine furlongs having run her best race so far when upped to a mile at Redcar two outings ago. David Elsworth's Hidden Fire won back-to-back races earlier in the season at Lingfield and Windsor but looks in the grip of the handicapper judged by her most recent start at Newbury and preference is for BABYCAKES. Michael Bell's filly has shown decent form in winning over this trip at Wolverhampton in May and in two outings on turf since then, most recently at Salisbury when a close third behind Sea Of Heartbreak, and she can go one better today.
