Verdict
Barton Bounty has failed to figure off higher marks since winning here in November but Hathaway has been threatening to add to her only win so far with a couple of placed efforts of late. Potentiale has also made the frame on more than one occasion recently and he could figure, though Southwell winner Patriotic is less exposed and makes more appeal. FAVOURITE GIRL made a reappearance over too short a trip at Lingfield three weeks ago and will be much more at home over today's distance. She gets a speculative vote here as she has the scope for plenty of improvement. Pipers Piping was engaged to run at Southwell yesterday but has claims if taking part.
