Verdict

OH SO GRAND looked progressive before a blip at Lingfield last time and she's worth a chance to resume winning ways. Fellow 3yo Ribal may pose the biggest threat, although Light Up Our Stars could feature if ready to go after a break.

  1. OH SO GRAND
  2. RIBAL
  3. LIGHT UP OUR STARS (IRE)
