Seemingly a lot of dead wood in this seller and THEDEBOFTHEYEAR has outstanding claims on the best of her form, which includes a heavy ground victory here as recently as February. Indeed, it's slightly surprising to see her dropped to this level in light of that success and, with useful Charlie Deutsch claiming a valuable 7lb, anything like a repeat of that form would suffice. Strong Wind is hard to assess on the back of a point-to-point win so a market check is required for the top weight but Kozmina Bay is one to note if in the same form as for her Uttoxeter handicap success in December. Caught by Witness who should also be competitive off a mark of 77.
