Verdict

Nkosikazi has the placed form to figure but is proving hard to win with and GEETANJALI (NAP) makes more appeal. The latter went close at Chelmsford on her reappearance but won three times on Turf in 2019 and looks capable of scoring again off her current mark. Bollin Joan ended last year with a victory over 1m4f at Catterick and is still preferred to stablemate Appointed despite a 5lb rise while Merryweather and Sootability have yet to win over this far and the former has done all her winning on the all-weather so far.
