Verdict
This lucrative prize has attracted a potential all-weather star in ABSOLUTE BLAST. Iain Jardine's import from France went up a massive 12lb for her victory here earlier this month but it made no difference as she was very impressive at Kempton. She's up another 8lb but looks a pattern-race performer in the making. Carolinae scored at Lingfield in November and may have been unlucky in-running in both subsequent starts. She looks capable of better and may prove the main threat. Summer Icon won a Newmarket maiden in the summer and has returned to action in very good form on the all-weather, staying on very strongly to score over 7f at Lingfield. Gleaming Girl won a very strong handicap over the track and trip and didn't appear to be at her best at Kempton last time but Coillte Cailin looks a couple of pounds high.
