Verdict
AVONROSE won a claimer over 7f here in December but her third to Star Links in a decent handicap at Wolverhampton last week was an even better effort. Derek Shaw's filly can make the most of this drop in class and take home the spoils. Amary won here last month but this is tougher and Clever Omneya makes more appeal. She finished second to the progressive Feet Of Fury at this track last week but Miss Bootylishes looks in need of further respite from the handicapper.
