Verdict
Branston Fizz came back to form when narrowly denied at Catterick last time and should prove hard to beat off a 2lb higher mark. Shirley Oaks has had her limitations exposed at this level since landing a weak Brighton seller last month. Twilight Mistress looks weighted up to her best recent form while Brilliantrio may find this trip too sharp nowadays.
