Verdict

YANKEE ONE (6) settled just off the pace then was a shade too strong over this distance at Canterbury when resuming from a spell last start. Lightly raced mare from the in-form Bjorn Baker yard. Big chance to repeat the dose. DIVINE VICKY (7) was ridden quietly then descended late to get up for third over 6f at Canterbury last time out. Hasn't won for a while but that last effort was encouraging. Looms as a serious threat. JOYNER (11) started favourite but was just fair when resuming behind Yankee One at Canterbury recently. Talented mare who always improves with the run under her belt so she can win without surprising. SEASCAPE (2) is back from an eighteen-week break. Raced well in similar events to this last prep. Good fresh performer with decent claims. WIND OF CHANGE (3) couldn't hold out Yankee One last time but wasn't beaten far. Should be thereabouts again.
