In depth
Verdict
This fillies handicap can fall to Candyland, House arrest and Ella Y Rossa look the main rivals. Mick Quinn's three-year-old has been contesting the minimum trip on her most recent runs and performing with credit. She steps up to seven this afternoon and it should suit as her dam won over a mile in France. The stable are known for a tilt at the ring so keep a close eye on the betting. House Arrest hasn't quite hit top form this campaign but has strong claims on the best of last season's form. Meanwhile Ella Y Rossa comes into the argument on her recent Wolverhampton success. A case can be made for quite a few of the others as well, but on this occasion we will side with Candyland.
