Verdict

Danielle McCreery is the best female jockey around at the moment and her mount Indian's Feather gets the vote ahead of Parkview Love. The selection has a 6lb penalty for a facile success at Southwell last Tuesday when scoring by five lengths. That wasn't a great race but the six-year-old mare scored well and is equally effective over this mile trip. If she acts on this different artificial surface then she must be have a great chance of winning again. Parkview Love showed a return to form when a decent second last time out but needs to reproduce that good run to score today. He acts around this track and goes on the shortlist, along with Magic Warrior who is better on the all-weather than the turf. October Ben may just need the run after 276 days off although market support should be noted, whilst Tabulate didn't build on his win two starts back. He may prefer a return to Southwell, and so we will return to Indian's Feather as the selection.
