Verdict
After her debut success on this track, Libby Mae couldn't cope with her penalty at Wetherby though the pair who finished in front of her look quite useful. Stuart Crawford does very well with his raiders from Ireland and Now Let go has to be on the short-list after her promising debut behind Isla Fernandes at Wetherby in November. The runner-up has since won easily so the form looks strong though the winner wasn't far in front of Soeur De Rois on a return visit so Philip Kirby's well-connected mare can also get into the frame. Paul Webber has just one runner at the fixture, JUST A FEELING, a daughter of Flemensfirth out of a mare from the family of Best Mate. She's one for the future but could be good enough to make a successful debut.
