In depth

Verdict

LIBERAL LADY scored over C&D a fortnight ago and gets the tentative vote to follow up. She had Imaginary Diva and Thorpe Bay well behind on that occasion with Scommettitrice back in fourth and the latter has since gone close at Wolverhampton. Mambo Spirit is capable at this level but ended last year in woeful form while C&D winner Slatey Hen is another with the past form to figure but is struggling to find her best at the minute.
