      Verdict

      Keith Dalgleish has won two of the three previous runnings of this fillies’ handicap and FOREVER A LADY is preferred to Che Bella and can boost the yard’s record further. She held off Arabian Jazz on similar terms at Thirsk last month and had to cover extra ground when drawn wide at Chester subsequently. Crotchet has been creeping up the weights without winning and wasn’t at her best last time at Doncaster – she may benefit for a drop back to 6f. Super Florence has been confined to sprint distances this season and is now on a career-high mark and Edge Of The World has an almost identical profile and has changed stables since her latest second at Leicester.
