Verdict
Molly Ollys Wishes got the better of Martello Sky in Listed company at Wetherby last month. The former can confirm running over this longer trip but both are penalised today and that gives the advantage to MIRANDA at the weights. The latter was beaten by the Skelton charge last season but re-opposes on better terms and Paul Nicholls’ mare should be ready for action having gone close on the Flat month.
