Verdict

Neardown Beauty appears to be a reformed character and will be a popular choice to complete her hat-trick but a chance is taken with Confidentiality; One Night In Paris is next best although support for the ex-French Bassinet would be of interest. Neardown Beauty's two recent wins have both come over 7 furlongs at Southwell but she's won on the polytrack and over a mile. She's run well here in the past and, with her confidence high, has to be feared. Confidentiality has had two quick races since returning from a break and has been a shade unfortunate not to fare better on each of them. She looks capable of winning again from her current mark and is worth siding with against the likely favourite. Bassinet was bought for 43,000 gns in December and is an interesting runner having shown promise on grass in France but One Night In Paris has more obvious claims although is possibly in the handicapper's clutches. Instead, take Confidentiality to get the better of Neardown Beauty.
