Verdict

The vote goes to GISELLES IZZY, who is holding her form admirably well and she would have surely gone close but for encountering traffic problems when fourth at Catterick last time. Roshambo deserves to get her head back in front following a series of solid efforts in defeat this season and she is feared most. Resilience has slipped to a handy mark and is also shortlisted, along with the hat-trick seeking Spirit In My Soul.

  1. GISELLES IZZY (IRE)
  2. ROSHAMBO
  3. RESILIENCE
