Verdict
Alicante Dawn won a novice event at Carlisle but both placed horses have been well beaten since. SPRINGFORTH makes more appeal as Richard Fahey’s colt won a handicap at Catterick last time and the runner-up has subsequently boosted the form. Lady Cristal went close in novice company on the all-weather last month and steps back up in trip while Kilbaha Lady was beaten only a short-head in a handicap at Nottingham a week ago and can race off the same mark today.
