Verdict

Delightfully would have a chance here on her best form but her stable is woefully out of form. Kykate had no chance in a Listed race at Cheltenham last time but probably needs further, while Leith Walk's recent runs have also been over much further. Janet's Pearl is proven on the ground and could go well after a break, however, and the latter remark can also be applied to ALLBARKANOBITE. Kate Walton's mare won over C&D following a lay-off in October and the handicapper is starting to show her a little mercy again - she gets the nod.
