Verdict
Anastazia has done her winning over 6f so far and Just Marion's win at Kempton came in a lowly Class 6 event. Harry Hurricane was second in a handicap over 6f last time and has been raised a further 4lb while Star Of The Stage is upped 6lb after scoring on his handicap debut at Lingfield. But the recent maiden winners may end up fighting this one out with Middle England looking to have every chance partnered by an apprentice, although a tentative vote goes to the winning debutant PHARMACEUTICAL to come good again with normal progress.
