In depth

Verdict

Flame Of Dixie may be the pick of those with experience but that's not saying much and this should go to one of the newcomers. Miss Mayfair has a dirt pedigree and will have to prove she handles the soft ground but the stoutly-bred Pipali will probably be staying on when others have cried enough, as should UPBEAT COBBLER. Henry Daly's four-year-old, who cost £25,000 at the sales last May, gets the vote as she's a full sister to useful hurdler/chaser Rebel Du Maquis so probably has more scope than stable companion Toot Sweet.
