In depth
Verdict
Course winner Kozmina Bay looks to be out of her depth but a case can be made for a few of the others. Princess Tara was very impressive when getting off the mark in a maiden hurdle over track and trip last month but MILLICENT SILVER may have her measure. She hasn't been disgraced in better company of late and has been dropped another couple of pounds recently. Tara For Lilly makes some appeal on her handicap debut but Jean Fleming has been difficult to train and may never fulfil early promise. Our Maimie was well behind the selection at Haydock two runs ago.
