Verdict
Yanza has won once in 18 starts and though she ran well at Bath last time that was over the minimum trip and she's never been beyond 6f. Border Abby's only victory came over 1m2f on soft ground so she's likely to find this on the short side as may Rigid, who has been hurdling. JOY TO THE WORLD showed a bit more dash at Salisbury last time and that form should be good enough in this poor contest. Volcanic Jack has found 6f too short in his two runs since arriving from Ireland and could prove best of the remainder.
