In depth
Verdict
Millie Of Mayo was a very easy winner making her handicap debut over course and distance last month. There should be more to come and, despite an 8lb rise, Nicky Richards’ mare is unlikely to be far away again. But we just prefer CHRISTOPHER ROBIN, who probably beat stronger opposition at Southwell and should last home on this easy course. Uttoxeter winner Viking Ruby has her ground again while Get An Oscar is a pound lower than when successful here a year ago, though has disappointed this season.
