Verdict
A tricky opener as WICKED WENCH has done her winning on the all-weather on the Fibresand at Southwell up to now and is having her first start since October. On the positive side, she's dropped in class for her return and is clear at the weights. Where's Reiley has failed to threaten since scoring at Wolverhampton last year and Festival Dance could prove a bigger threat on her comeback run and Polytrack debut. Johnny Splash and Pytheas have it all to on today's terms and look up against it.
