Verdict

Only third at Catterick last time, FLEURTILLE is at her best with cut in the ground as when scoring over track and trip last month. She beat Dark Opal, Pivotal Prospect and Balinka on that occasion and can come good again if the surface remains on the soft side of good. Adiator ended last year with a victory over 6f at Redcar and Catterick maiden winner Madagascar Moll should be winning a handicap this season. Classy Lassy is harder to fancy on her return but Dartrix won here last term and should have improved from a recent pipe-opener at Thirsk.
