In depth
Verdict
LADY PRODEE is worth sticking with here having won two of her three starts so far including a victory over C&D on her debut. The ease of her latest win at Kempton suggests there is more to come from Bill Turner's filly. Just For Leo had Johnny Hancocks and Lady Brookie behind when second at Lingfield earlier this month and should go close again while better is expected from Mr Optimistic, who never figured on the Fibresand last time but won his maiden here before that. Je Suis Unrockstar looks in the handicapper's grip now after a couple of earlier victories at Southwell.
