Verdict
Dianne Sayer won this last year and will be hoping that Millie The Minx can break her maiden and follow suit. Outback Blue is also seeking a first victory but slipping down the weights while Golden Town won at Cartmel in June when only a pound lower. GLIMPSE OF GOLD’s latest third at Uttoxeter suggest he’s back on a decent mark and Tim Vaughan’s raider looks the one to beat in this with The Herds Garden probably having a confidence-booster ahead of a return to chasing.
