Verdict
Cheese 'n Biscuits is not the most consistent of performers but should be capable of beating these opponents, Ever Cheerful and Rafters Music look the main dangers. Gary Moore's filly recovered from a slow start last time to chase home Lilli Marlane at Lingfield last time. That was off a mark of 65 so on official ratings she is well treated in regards to her main rivals. Ever Cheerful won off a mark of 55 last time so may find the concession of five pounds to the selection a difficult task. Rafters Music wasn't beaten far in a six furlong seller here last time but may struggle in this tougher event especially over a trip that does test his stamina to the limit. Naughty Girl, who is making her Wolverhampton debut, has a squeak on her best form but Cheese 'n Biscuits looks primed for victory and gets the nod.
