Verdict

MERI DRIVE had to concede a huge 21lb to to Allertix last time out but she looks capable of reversing the form here and the yard took this race last year. They also run Pravalaguna who shouldn't be far away if she's ready to go after an absence. Alighting is an intriguing runner who should appreciate the step up in trip and may be capable of taking another step forward after a promising effort last time out.
