In depth
Verdict
Miss M has become disappointing but first-time blinkers may aid her cause. Dolly Mcqueen has won her last two over hurdles, including one here, though in very modest company. SAWPIT SIENNA has done well since joining Samuel Drinkwater and will strip fitter for her fifth at Plumpton so gets a tentative vote with Sindabella having a first run since March. Amelia's Dance can also go well with Tabitha Worsley taking off 5lb and Gaot has been well supported in all three starts this season, though is now 0-7 over timber. Joyful Kit appears to need some help from the handicapper.
