Verdict
Love Powerful won in novice company at Windsor last time and makes her handicap debut while Mild Illusion finished a creditable third over 7f in a handicap at Newmarket recently and is preferred to both Allez Sophia and Bartat. But a couple of these drop down in class now handicapping for the first time including Companion, who has been competing in Listed races without success. GLAMOROUS ANNA ran well for third in a conditions race at Chester on her latest start when finishing clear of the rest. She’ll find this easier and gets the vote.
