Verdict

SEASIDE GIRL shaped well when fourth at Exeter last month yet can race off a 2 lb lower mark here so Ben Pauling's low-mileage mare is taken to add to her earlier Fontwell chasing success. Kiwi Myth hit the ground running when second at Fontwell on her return so this reliable sort is feared most ,with recent Ffos Las scorer Misty Man also sure to have a say despite a 7 lb rise.

  1. SEASIDE GIRL (IRE)
  2. KIWI MYTH
  3. MISTY MAI (IRE)
