Verdict

UDABERRI has slipped to a good mark and caught the eye when fifth at Lingfield last time out so looks the way to go in this competitive handicap. Moogie scored with a bit up her sleeve over C&D so rates a big threat despite having a 4 lb rise to overcome. In-form pair Bold Ribb and Expert Witness command plenty of respect too.

  1. UDABERRI (IRE)
