Verdict

MUSIQUE DE FEE confirmed she's a staying handicapper on the up at this sort of level when runner-up at Newton Abbot a month ago and while a 4 lb rise for a defeat isn't ideal, she still looks the one to beat. Shorten Sassy appeals at the type to improve as her stamina is drawn out so is feared most.

Verdict
Stayer who is thriving, winning back-to-back handicaps this spring (including over C&D) and even better form when second to another in-form sort at Newton Abbot a month ago. Up 4 lb but she remains of very serious interest.

Verdict
Back to winning ways in a change of headgear in 5-runner handicap hurdle at Haydock (21.2f, good to firm) in March. Found dominating a Cheltenham handicap too much but this more suitable upped in trip.

Verdict
Unseated early on debut at Ludlow and took time to warm to her task when an ultimately well-beaten eighth in a Huntingdon mares' maiden (20.6f). Finished with running left at Haydock and type to do better in staying handicaps.
