Verdict

There ought to be more to come from CHURCHELLA, who did well to win at Southwell last time having put herself on the back foot at the start (very slowly away), so she receives the vote in a competitive handicap. Bottom-weight Merrijig is a keen-going type who might not take loads of getting fit, while Fox Flame and hat-trick seeker Noble Crusade are two others with solid claims.
