Verdict

DA'QUONDE remains in fine form and scored in similar ground at Redcar last month after a couple of wins on the all-weather. She's worth sticking with here in her current frame of mind. Cerejeira posted a better effort when third at Musselburgh last month with Sandwith a couple of lengths behind and that looks solid form as the latter has subsequently gone close himself back at the same track. Last year's winner Sharp Shoes has looked anything but sharp recently and the same goes for You'relikemefrank, who landed a double at Lingfield at the turn of the year.
