Verdict
A very run-of-the mill handicap. Julian Poulton's team are in good form at the moment and few could begrudge Indian Steppes a victory in maiden company at Southwell last week. A six-pound penalty looks unlikely to stop her following up at Dunstall Park. Tigress is moderate but she is at least consistent in her efforts. She looks the most likely danger to our selection. Cressex Katie should benefit if any of the principals fluff their lines. The remainder are instantly forgettable.
