Verdict
Even Flo may be able to maintain her good run of form at the main expense of Jim Bobs Girl and Earcomesannie. The selection bumped into a much improved performer when second at Fakenham before confirming the promise of that run with a wide margin win at Southwell. She has a couple of furlongs further to travel and a penalty to carry but shouldn't have a problem on either score. Earcomesannie and Jim Bobs Girl were only separated by a couple of lengths at Towcester and there should be little between them again evening; the latter makes marginally more appeal. Jackella won impressively last time but had shown little prior to that and may be worth opposing from a significantly higher mark and Even Flo is the one that we'll be siding with here.
