Verdict
Misscarlett chased home a subsequent winner in a higher grade at Musselburgh four weeks ago and is 8lb lower than her last winning mark but Your Place is now 0-20. MELCHOIR tries a new trip but her dam won over 2m2f on heavy ground in France and Nick Alexander’s lightly-raced mare may be suited. Our Laura B is another still with time on her side.
