Verdict
Towcester scorer Mrs Burbidge was fancied for a similar race last night at Uttoxeter and would incur a penalty here if successful. Milan Of Crystal is starting to come down the weights but has only won a seller so far and was a long way behind MIDNIGHT SAPPHIRE here just over a year ago. Victor Dartnall's mare is still 5lb higher and has had her ups and downs since that victory but usually contests better races than this so is taken to get back on track. Belcanto made all at Fontwell and has escaped a penalty so is an obvious danger but Buy Me Out may be flattered by her form figures.
