Verdict
Mr Mix has had a break since pulled up when tailed off in the Badger Ales at Wincanton in November and may struggle to give 6lb to DINGO DOLLAR if Alan King’s novice is in the same mood as when beating market rival Baden by 15 lengths in a handicap at Newbury – the latter is only a pound better off.
