Verdict

A competitive event but top-weight CARAMAY didn't enjoy the rub of the green when third at Southwell last time and edges the vote from fellow course winner Penelope Valentine. Electric Avenue is weighted to go well if shrugging off a lesser effort at Newcastle and handicap debutante Welljudged can't be discounted either.
