Verdict
Mad About Sally made a successful return to action at Chepstow but all of her victories have come over longer trips. Petticoat Lucy looks to be in the handicapper’s grip now but Game On For Glory found only one too good off this mark at Warwick, with Malaita close behind, and Lingfield third Eureka Creek won off a higher mark at Uttoxeter last season. WALK IN CLOVER (NAP) has run well in three previous visits here. Her last two runs have been over 2m but she stays this trip and further and could be primed for a return to winning ways. Ludlow third Pougne Aminta remains unexposed and La Malmason has been highly tried so far but is conceding weight all round.
