Verdict

Koolgreycat scored on her return to action at Musselburgh but will need to improve again off a higher mark in this better company. Gowanharry has claims on her earlier second at Thirsk if forgiven for failing to the land the odds at Hamilton last month when behind Rock Canyon. The latter has been well beaten in a couple of subsequent starts and Wolverhampton winner DREAMING OF RUBIES gets the vote as she had Phoenix Clubs behind when third in a higher grade race at York on her latest start. Lexington Spirit won her first two starts of last season but seems to have lost her way since then.
