Verdict

ASIAN SPICE took a big step forward on her handicap bow when getting off the mark over C&D and a 6 lb rise in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent Jimmy Frost's mare from following up. C&D scorer Gerard Mentor comes here in good nick and is next on the list ahead of recent Chepstow victor Ito Ditto. Orchard Grove is worth a market check after a long absence too.

  1. ASIAN SPICE
  2. GERARD MENTOR (FR)
  3. ITO DITTO (FR)
