Verdict

Bellevarde heads the weights and this course and distance winner usually runs her race here, including when close up on her penultimate start. Despite her consistency she hasn't landed a win since 2019 and is passed over despite being expected to go well. Sovereign State is another with a pleasing course record and should be involved if bouncing back from a below par effort last month. The consistent Aquadabra is another course regular expected to play a part off her career-low mark, but the choice is WILD FLOWER. She only ran on Wednesday evening when sixth of seven at Bath but that was a better run that the figures suggest and she should now be spot-on after two runs following a break.
