Comfortably beaten into eighth two weeks ago at Scottsville in a conditions race; specialist here with three wins; trainer going well a plus; plenty of appeal given she won a Listed race two runs back and has a ground-saving draw.

Three-time course winner; towards the rear of 13 over 7½f at Vaal (stakes race) last month; easy to oppose as this looks a decent race.

Verdict

MARY'S GREENLIGHT looks the one to back. She can improve on an excellent course record and can show that a below-par effort last time was just a blip. Battleground has run well previously over this C&D.
