Verdict

TEARDROPS showed marked improvement when third over C&D 6 days ago and the application of first-time blinkers could unlock further progress. Invincible Annice arrives in good form after scoring over 5f at this venue recently and can make her presence felt despite a penalty, while Ardaddy should appreciate the return to 6f having gone too fast when weakening over 7f last time.
