Verdict
MADAME BARKER went very close in a tight finish over course and distance last time and Phil Dennis take 7lb off her back for this. She can confirm running with Cool Crescendo and go one better. Rupert Boy has been thereabouts of late and may figure while Matilda Gleam is getting closer and finished ahead of Castlerea Tess and Ormanumps over 5f here last month. Richard Fahey's Espoir has yet to threaten but goes handicapping for the first time today and could finish closer.
