    Verdict

    A small field for this fillies' finale and CRAZY CHRIS is nominated to get the better of Look Officer and Starburst. The selection is not more than tentative in what is a trappy contest. However, her win last time over 10 furlongs at Kempton suggested she will relish the extra two here. Look Officer scored over 1m 3f at Southwell earlier in the month and that form has since been franked by the runner-up, and she was not far away over this trip here last time. A 1lb rise should not be a huge issue and she is feared. Andrew Balding saddles Starburst, who is 6lbs higher than when scoring over course and distance in a maiden in December. Although she was beaten from this mark last time she is not ruled out. Formidable Guest is not certain to stay and may have a few pounds too many, while Bushy Dell will stay and has won from this mark, so adds to the mix very nicely. Crazy Chris is just preferred.
