In depth
Verdict
Innclassic can dispose of this bunch although Queen Of Night and Urban Calm have viable claims. Brian Meehan's representative was only two lengths behind Autumn Pearl in a Conditions event at Lingfield last year and while its fair to say that she has not trained on to that level, she really wont get so many weak races as this to plunder. Queen Of Night has ability but is a tempremental old soul. If she consents to race she is very much respected at this grade but sadly the punters will never know until the gates go back! Urban Calm is still a maiden but has chased home some decent handicappers in recent weeks. The market is watched. Bond Shakira has shown brief glimpses of ability but can dawdle at the start. Innclassic gets our vote.
