Verdict
Millarville came out best in a blanket finish over track and trip recently with both Cancan and Lizzie Loch beaten less than a length. That trio are hard to separate and the former had earlier been beaten by Ravenscar at Newcastle. Island Mahee is 7lb higher than when landing this race last year and preference is for CAILIN DEARG. Rose Dobbin’s mare beat Rubytwo and Latino Fling when successful at Sedgefield three runs ago and finished in front of the latter again when runner-up at the same track last time.
