In depth
Verdict
Little Millie has already run 11 times over timber but has been placed on five occasions. Festival Dawn ran a shocker when favourite at Market Rasen in November but has been rested since and would have every chance on an earlier second to Posh Trish at Chepstow. Kim Bailey’s winning pointer Illuminated Beauty is an interesting contender and Sixty's Belle made late headway at Warwick but LOVEHERANDLEAVEHER came up against an above-average mare at Hereford last month and she just gets the nod.
