Verdict
None of the quintet can be ruled out but it's hard to side against NEOMA who can race off the same mark as when an excellent recent Pontefract second. Arkinthestars also comes here at the top of her game and is feared most with Spanish Hustle and Haptics also firmly in the picture.

VerdictSeemed unsuited by the track when sixth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (12f, good to firm, 11/2) 30 days ago. No surprise to see him get back on track here in search of a first win since 2023.- Unnamed Favourite
