Verdict

Dual C&D scorer NIKKI SWANGO arrives at the top of her game and is fancied to quickly resume winning ways on the back of a very good recent second here with this return to 7f also a likely plus. Course specialist Notforalongtime is feared most with Velvet Skies, Edergole's Angel and Morning Approach all in the picture too.
