Verdict
Smokey has been in good form elsewhere on the all-weather but Spirit Power has won here in the past. Qaaraat has the more recent form at the track and has the beating of Ustath while Youkan gets a change of headgear looking to end a long losing run. But PASSIONAL has now won four of her last five outings including over course and distance back in December and Stuart William’s progressive filly can go in again as she escapes a penalty for last week’s victory in an apprentices’ race at Chelmsford.
