Verdict
Cailin Dearg completed a double over longer trips here in December and beat LATINO FLING on the first of those occasions. But the latter is fancied to turn the tables in this having subsequently undergone wind surgery and winning at Catterick a fortnight ago. Donald McCain’s charge looks worth sticking with ahead of Leeswood Lily, who is penalised for a recent course and distance success. Lizzie Loch slips further down the weights and novice winner Just Jess makes her handicap debut so they look best of the rest.
