Verdict
Emerald Lady remains 7lb higher than when scoring at Ffos Las though ran well here last time. Slainte Mhath beat Zig Zag Zyggy over 6f at Hamilton in August but finished behind the latter when a disappointing favourite on her latest start. Slate Cracker is another upped in distance and also returned a losing favourite in the all-weather recently so a chance is taken on TWO SUMMERS. The latter has tumbled down the weights and would have finished closer than fifth in a first-time hood at Catterick if the saddle hadn’t slipped.
