In depth
Verdict
We switch to the Polytrack for this closing bumper and will stick with GIVEAGIRLACHANCE, who won by six lengths here last month and doesn't appear to have much to beat today. Magic Money was third at Kempton in December and could improve on that but Tender Surprise hasn't shown much so far. Of the newcomers, Nick Gifford's Alflora mare Cariflora catches the eye on breeding and is preferred to Cloudy Lady and Tamarton Tansy.
