Verdict
Red Mirage has switched yards since winning this off a 2lb lower mark last term with both Revich and Boardman behind. The latter pair and Croupier were all well beaten in the Lincoln but Wobwobwob is preferred back over today’s shorter trip. Both of Ffion’s wins on the Turf have come over course and distance but GWEEDORE makes most appeal. Katie Scott’s charge made most of the running when scoring at Musselburgh on his reappearance and ran well again when second in a tough handicap at Haydock last time.
