Verdict

Many of these are old rivals and regulars here. Saxonette beat Spring Bird, The Nifty Fox and Chloe's Dream over course and distance last month but then finished behind a back-to-form Pavers Star here 10 days ago when Tadalavil was just in front. Windforpower was behind Irish Girls Spirit and Pavers Star at Catterick two runs ago but produced an improved effort last time at Beverley when fourth to Oldjoesaid. BOXING SHADOWS was further behind but didn't get much luck in-running that day and is expected to do better here with the plum draw against the stands rail. He's preferred to Perfect Words, beaten by Live Dangerously last time at Hamilton and closely matched with others on recent form.
