Verdict

NINFEA was always going well when getting off the mark in a modest heat over C&D earlier this month. She has a penalty to carry today but this isn't much better and David Bridgwater's filly could be too strong for Mollyow, who was very modest on the Flat and isn't guaranteed to reproduce her third to Solaras Exhibition at Plumpton over this extra quarter-mile. Rydalis has been most disappointing since finishing second at Lingfield in November but a repeat of that effort here would see her go close.
