Verdict

Aquasulis finished a bit closer on her latest start at Windsor and the C&D winner could figure back on this surface. Missile Attack went close at Ayr last week and Medam scored over 6f here on her penultimate start but both have a bit to find at the weights with MOTHER JONES. The latter came up against higher rated rivals when sixth in a seller at this track a fortnight ago but should go close against today's lesser opposition and gets a tentative vote. Ice Trooper has a chance on today's terms but arrives out of sorts.
