Verdict
Invincible Larne returned an easy winner over the minimum trip at Yarmouth last month but previous efforts over today’s distance fail to inspire confidence. Likewise with Lovin, who was successful over 5f here in novice company last year while Maid Millie has placed recently but is upped in class today. Sepahi’s recent second at Yarmouth came over 7f and Di Matteo is preferred off her current mark but the latter finished behind ACROSS THE SEA (NAP) when James Tate’s filly returned a losing favourite over 6f at Wolverhampton last time. That form looks solid enough in hindsight given the first two home have both subsequently won and she gets the vote.
