In depth
Verdict
YES I DID carries a double penalty for her previous wins including a comfortable nine-length victory at Sedgefield last week. But Dan Skelton's mare is still the one to beat in this with further progress likely. Kilas Girl ran well for second over 2m4f here last year but disappointed when last seen while Miss Gotaway was still beaten a distance when third at Taunton last month. Ballybrowneybridge has placed in a bumper and after finishing closer over hurdles at Huntingdon last time, may prove best of the remainder.
