Verdict
Miss Champers is taken to come out on top while others to consider include Savile's Delight, Lucayan Monarch and Northern Games. The David Evans-trained filly is a previous course and distance winner and shaped as though returning to form when third here last time. The selection has dropped down to a most attractive handicap mark and looks capable of taking full advantage. Savile's Delight is turned out quickly after a solid display on turf last time but had previously run poorly on this surface at Southwell and may struggle once again. Lucayan Monarch has been off the track for five months but hails from a yard back in form and can't be discounted while Northern Games was below his best in first time blinkers on his latest start but handles the surface and has claims on the pick of his turf form.
