Verdict
Kilganer Queen will probably need this but the veteran did win off a higher mark last year. The Yellow Mini’s race record is 1-24 and Cobbs Corner is clearly no world-beater but Miss Bamby has placed at Uttoxeter and Worcester this season off today’s mark and won at Hereford around this time last year. Bells Of Stamford only went up 4lb for winning at Ayr in May but SCUDAMORE is fit from the Flat and may try and make all on this sharp track.
