Verdict
Plenty of first-time headgear that may see some horses improving however the safest option looks to be FLYINFLYOUT who is preferred to Miss Whippy and Ermyntrude. Sheena West's filly put in her best effort to date when second to Under Fire over this course and distance last month. She is only 1lb higher in the handicap today and a repeat of her latest run may be enough to win today. Cool Kitten handles this ground and the combination of Neil Callan and a visor may see her leave behind her Salisbury disappointment, Ayam Zainah, Explorator and Amends are possible improvers now handicapping, whilst Southern Breeze also falls into that category and is respected back from a break on this turf debut. Miss Whippy has run two solid races in the north this year, whilst Ermyntrude is nicely-bred and not discounted as she steps up in trip. Market Support for Paphos would encourage, whilst Little Meadow put in her best effort on the all-weather here in May, however with that form looking just average we are happy to return to Flyinflyout as the selection.
