      Verdict

      Mystic Jade has not raced since 2014 while Skidby Mill and Slovak disappointed on their latest starts having both won over track and trip earlier this year. First Experience went close over 7f here last time and can race off the same mark but had earlier finished well behind PERFECT ALCHEMY at the track. The latter’s bid for hat-trick came unstuck when running into a wall of horses at Brighton last month and she was eased down in the closing stages. Patrick Chamings’ mare is worth another chance and can go close with normal luck in-running.
