      Verdict

      Emperatriz needs to dig a bit deeper off her current mark having won here in December. Dandarrell scored at this track in the same month but has also struggled off a higher mark since. Queen Of Skies makes more appeal as she went close to following up her earlier victory over track and trip when runner-up three weeks ago, but Conry was engaged to run at Wolverhampton yesterday. SILLY BILLY is effectively a winner without a penalty as Billy Cray's allowance cancels out a 3lb rise for last month's win over course and distance. John Bading's charge gets the nod with Kempton winner Handsome Stranger having something to prove on this surface.
