Verdict
A dour stayer, Mustmeetalady handled heavy going better than the odds-on Max Do Brazil here last month but may not be as effective on this quicker surface. AMALFI DOUG has been hit with an 8lb rise for winning a novices’ handicap here last month but won’t mind the extra half-mile and probably has more to offer now he’s got his head in front. Soupy Soups pulled too hard here last time and can’t be ignored if on a going a day but Graineyhill’s form has nose-dived since he won at Fairyhouse in the spring.
