Verdict
John Potts left his previous form behind when winning here last time and it remains to be seen if he can repeat that effort off a 3lb higher mark. Preference goes to DEVON DIVA, who was just held over a mile at Kempton recently. She hasn't got many miles on the clock for her age and with further improvement a possibility, she can finally open her account. Bring Sweets is a recent winner over hurdles and drops back in trip after finishing third over 1m4f here, while ex-Irish Celtic Life is another to consider on just her second start for Amy Weaver.
