Verdict
Strong Vigilance just hasn't gone on from a promising start to his career and is now tried in a visor. If that enables him to reproduce juvenile form he'd take some stopping but the percentage call is GRANITE GIRL. Our selection is a daughter of Kyllachy, a horse who won on soft, and she can be expected to defy a 6lb penalty if, as expected, she copes with conditions. Invitee is another who should act on the ground, while she's also unexposed and the drop in distance may suit. Wavertree Bounty loves the ground but may lack the class to beat those towards the top of the weights and similar comments apply to Wood Fair, who ran well when last seen and remains on the same mark. Granite Girl is the pick.
