Verdict
Mildyjama was well supported at Ffos Las and duly opened her account. She’s only 2lb higher today but INTERGALACTICAT is preferred. The latter landed a novices race at Doncaster last time but placed in a handicap on soft ground at Yarmouth earlier and gets the vote on that form. Damascus Steel won over a longer trip at Windsor in May while Dancing Gypsy could be thereabouts with an apprentice taking 5lb off his back.
