    Verdict

    Atlanta Ablaze did win after a lay-off in 2016 but has an even longer absence to overcome this time. Monar Rose is eased in grade while Phoeniciana was a wide-margin winner over hurdles here last month, though that was on heavy ground. The penny has dropped with BENNYS GIRL over fences and, though she’s shot up the weights, a hat-trick is not out of the question. Saucysioux has been beaten in sellers the last twice but Indian Native still looks a few pounds too high.
