Verdict
A switch of yards seems to have rejuvenated WILD FLOWER. She landed a double on Turf with a victory at Yarmouth a couple of days ago and looks capable of defying a 4lb rise in her current form. Mansfield will do well to reverse earlier running at Chepstow with the selection while most of the remainder have won over course and distance in the past. Of those, Secret Potion went close at Salisbury recently and Dark Side Dream placed here last month. Shepherd's Purse is back on a winning mark and finished just ahead of You're Cool at the track last time.
