In depth
Verdict
Recent winner SHEILA'S STAR is fancied to confirm the form with A Little Bit Dusty. Stan Moore's filly had to dig deep for victory here a fortnight ago and despite the longer trip she is fancied to prevail again. A Little Bit Dusty is actually worse off at the weights than when four lengths behind the selection however he has since won at Lingfield and is respected accordingly. Countrywide Flame is not out of this on official ratings but his recent form is very poor, whilst Boogie Star has six lengths to find with his stablemate but is not discounted completely. Bathwick Nero contested some fair maidens last season so he is another who warrants a second look.
