Verdict
LIME DROP was second off this mark at Newbury in December and is back on a soft surface for the first time since scoring at Hereford just over a year ago. Conditions will also suit Marsh Wren while Corey's Courage took advantage of a drop in grade to score at Huntingdon. The second has already franked that form and she is another who will enjoy the going. The others looks to have something to find on these terms.
