Verdict

Fusili was an impressive winner last time out and may be worth siding with to get the better of Lenoir and Flylowflylong. The selection is having her first run for trainer Nick Litmodden having been claimed after her recent win here when she beat Tafilah. She is nothing special but she looks the most likely winner if she can reproduce the form of that latest winning effort. Flylowflylong rates as the main danger as she beat Gattuso over 7f last time and with the step-up in trip very much in her favour today she has to to be considered. Lenoir won well last time at Lingfield and although that was a dreadful contest he was very impressive and he is one to note in the market. Psycho Cat is in good form and is another to consider, but for the winner we will return to Fusili.
