    Verdict

    STAR UP IN THE SKY makes most appeal despite a penalty for her recent win over course and distance. Kevin Ryan's filly scored by nearly three lengths and hasn't finished improving yet on that evidence. Iffranesia never figured at Southwell last time but has been running well over 5f on the Polytrack and landed a double in February. Ray Of Joy is facing a tougher task after winning at Kempton last month while Beau Mistral has finished nearer last than first since scoring at Redcar in September. Pira Palace has the past form to figure but was tailed off on her comeback and the jury is out on her.
