Verdict
LUCKY AVA recorded a course and distance double early in the year and last week’s second at Windsor suggests she can win again off her current mark. She had the measure of Hotalena here last month and the latter had earlier beaten Swooper over track and trip though Bob Cowell’s charge missed the break on that occasion. Split Elevens has been running well over 6f while Harswell Prince debuts on the all-weather on his return to action.
