Verdict

Soldier's Minute won a conditions race at Wolverhampton last time having earlier finished third in a handicap here behind One Night Stand. The latter has disappointed since but FIZZY FEET (NAP) was back to something like her best when beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton. She finished in front of Muscika on that occasion and the latter beat Marks Bear here back in November - David Loughnane’s mare won this in 2020. Last year’s winner Count Otto is 13lb higher today having won three times subsequently though hasn’t raced since last summer.
