Verdict

It could be worth chancing a small stakes investment on BYRON BLUE even though his best form has come on flatter surfaces than he'll encounter here. Holly Bush Henry faces no easy task on these terms but arrives here in good form and should go close if the 7lb penalty doesn't take too much of a toll. Kentford Heiress has no issues about the trip or ground and looks best placed to capitalise if her main rivals drop below the expected standard.
  1. Byron Blue
  2. Holly Bush Henry
  3. Kentford Heiress
