Verdict
Soft going is probably a bit of an unknown for some of these but it won’t inconvenience Elnadim Star, who won twice at Beverley last year but has her first start away from that track. Wensley will handle conditions and is weighted to reverse Beverley running in July with Roundhay Park, engaged yesterday at Ripon. Becker has won twice over 5f on Polytrack this year but his form over longer trips is less impressive. Revived is still relatively unexposed but this looks a good opportunity for FEEBS after a promising pipe-opener at Southwell. A testing surface seems to bring the best out of Mick Easterby’s gelding. Lady Willpower may be best of the rest.
