In depth
Verdict
Jean Fleming won a mares' maiden on her debut between the flags at Glenbane in October but the form hasn't really worked out and the one to beat in this is GRACE AND FORTUNE. Richard Rowe's charge has only been beaten a head in her last two starts here and at Plumpton and deserves to get her head in front for a change. It's difficult to make a case for any of the remainder including newcomers Redinga and Supersticion.
