Verdict
This doesn’t look particularly competitive and CROSSGALESFAMEGAME quickly put daylight between her and her rivals at Market Rasen last month. She’s only had four runs under Rules and should continue heading in the right direction. Deputy's Oscar was only fourth on her handicap debut at Wincanton but that was a better race than this and it’s too early to write off Stuart Edmunds’ mare, though she now has ground to make up on Aimee De Sivola. Oriental Cross is 9lb higher and steps up a grade after winning at Southwell while Our Dot's Baby may need this. Viva Vittoria was always struggling at Taunton but is better than that and looks the pick of the remainder.
