Verdict

WOODY Y FERNANDEZ has been knocking on the door with two narrow defeats in 6f handicaps and caught the eye when making late progress at Chelmsford last time. The step up in trip could suit based on his finishing style. Calypso Breeze has winning form over C&D and should appreciate returning to the all-weather after struggling on turf last time. Molly Mac may benefit from first-time hood after racing too freely here previously.
