In depth
Verdict
None of these mares exactly arrive in form but Carhue Princess possibly has stronger claims than most having won at Towcester on her penultimate start. Mini Muck was beaten when falling at Stratford but had been successful at Bangor and is less exposed than most. Goochypoochyprader won three times last season while Lights Of Broadway will have benefited from her run at Ascot. AGENT FEDORA is a speculative selection as she's been very disappointing so far over timber but Kim Bailey's charge starts off in a handicap on a plater's mark and is better than that. Madeira Girl was tailed off in a seller last time in her latest hurdles run but has won on the Fibresand since.
