        Verdict

        It would be hard to argue any of these are on the right side of the handicapper. Maureb looks best in at the weights but the yard's horses have not been going as well lately. Whatsthemessage and The Stalking Moon have proven to be improving fillies capable of defying their penalties.. However, with quicker ground forecast, it may pay to side with ALPINE DREAM . Tim Easterby's horses are going well at present and it is possible to excuse her latest defeat. Her previous run at York showed she had improved since accounting for Forever A Lady at Chester and she is proven off this mark.
