Verdict
This doesn't look as competitive as the numbers may suggest and it may well pay to side with William Haggas' handicap newcomer MAHRA'S LOVE. She's shaped with definite promise on each of her 3 runs in maiden/novice company and it would be surprising where she not capable of better still now tackling 7f for the first time. Whizz By is proving most consistent and is an obvious threat. Berkshire Smudge and Saxonia rate next best.

VerdictRattled off an all-weather hat-trick at Southwell (7f) in January and hard to knock her consistency in defeat since, equipped with a tongue strap when second of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 9/2) 22 days ago. Shortlist material.

VerdictDark Angel filly who matched pick of her form when third of 7 in novice at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago.
