This looks a moderate contest and ILEWINDELILAH looks capable of defying her penalty. She had plenty in hand when scoring at Uttoxeter a week ago. Provincial Pride ran well on her first start for new connections and should be thereabouts again but Zafaraban has now had 25 starts and is getting no closer to opening her account. Verdasco also needs more but Dream Bolt should be happier back over hurdles and blinkers could bring about some improvement in Sukiyaki.
