Verdict

Only five face the starter here but it's still a tricky puzzle to solve. Miss Kalifa was beaten a long way when third at Ludlow but will know more today and is less exposed than the luckless Overyou and Evella, who is struggling to last home in her races. Midnight Macarena has been dropped 3lb since finishing second at Fakenham but was beaten 20 lengths and has become a little disappointing. ENTERTAIN ME needs to improve on her victory over a shorter trip here last month but that was her debut over the larger obstacles and she's entitled to do so. Robin Dickin's mare can follow up.
