Verdict
Mia Cara ran below par at Lingfield last time but has won a couple of handicaps over today’s trip this year. Tranquil Daze scored over 6f at Southwell last month and attempts 7f for the time while TOUCH ME won a maiden race at Lingfield on New Year’s Eve. The latter went close again at the same track on her latest start and may just edge a tight contest on that form. Alemaratalyoum failed to figure in maiden company last year and has his first start since October.
