Verdict

A few fairly likeable mares feature in the line up, and there's no denying that the bulk of this field have fully proved that they know how to win races when presented with the opportunity. Both Jester Jet and Whatsthatallabout have run up sequences in lesser events, but the latter named has fitness to prove on her return from a 14 month break. Carnspindle progressed quickly after being well and truly eclipsed by today's rival Hitherjacques Lady in deep ground at Lingfield in February, but she blew up badly on her return to action recently. On Demand stays this trip, and is most effective going right-handed, but having done all of her winning at Wincanton, she needs to up her game even further. Therefore, the standout option is the upwardly mobile Tom Symonds trained mare RIVER ARROW. She came on leaps and bounds in the latter half of last season and concluded her campaign with a career best third to Snow Leopardess at Newbury in March (handicap debut). Up 4lb, she still looks potentially well handicapped assuming she can resume her racing duties where she left off eight months ago.
