Verdict
Hint Of Humour has been in the mix since scoring here in November and another good effort looks on the cards. She's preferred to Thecoffeepoddotco, who has been raised 4lb for winning at Lingfield, but it could be the turn of ALONDRA. The latter was having her first start for Scott Dixon when third at Newcastle in December and she looks a solid option.
Expert View Verdict
It's possible there's more to come from Thecoffeepoddotco now she's got her head in front, with her mark looking fair still after a 4lb rise. This can go to ALONDRA, though, the ex-Charlie Hills-trained filly having shaped well on her stable debut at Newcastle and looking likely to be suited by the return to this venue. She's now 3lb below her last win mark. Beaumadier is still 8lb higher than when winning over C&D back in November but he's been running well, including when placed over C&D off a higher mark in January.
