Verdict
A chance in taken here with Susiedil, Soul Provider and Young Kate look to be the obvious dangers. The selection has been running much better than her form figures suggest, apart from a run at Ayr over too far a distance. Last time out she tried to force the pace over the nine and a half furlong trip and paid the price as she tired quickly in the final furlong. If the same tactics are used over this shorter trip she could hold on for victory. Soul Provider has been in good form recently and put in another solid display at Yarmouth last time. She has gone well round here before and looks a banker for a place. Young Kate's recent second over course and distance makes very good reading in the context of this weak affair and she could reward each-way supporters. So a pretty tough contest to assess, but Susiedil could be a bit of value here and she gets the decision.
