Verdict

GO MAGGIE GO had Je Suis Unrockstar well behind when scoring over C&D last week. Kevin Ryan's filly has now registered both wins at this track and, on the evidence of her latest victory, appears to be still improving. She gets the vote here ahead of Grandmas Dream who returned to action with a maiden win at Lingfield last month and there should be more to come from her. Overwhelm finished a place in front of Johnny Hancocks when third here recently and she's worthy of consideration with that run under her belt, while better is expected from Liberty Green back at this level.
