Verdict

This is wide open but Jamie Snowden's SHE IS FOR ME BOYS created an excellent impression when going in at the first time of asking over fences at Kempton and can defy a 7 lb rise in the weights to make it four successes in a row. Realta Liath also impressed on her chasing bow when scoring at Fontwell and is next on the list, although Dan Skelton's Exeter victor Theonewedreamof is weighted to have a big say. Kalista Love, Me Wee Bonnie Lass and Batwomen all need factoring in too.
