In depth
Verdict
Conundrum was very disappointing at Sedgefield last month when backed to follow up an earlier win at that track. Dubheen hasn’t shown much since arriving from Ireland and EVER SO COOL hasn’t raced since pulled up here at the start of October. Fitness is unlikely to be an issue with the Skelton mare, however, and this is a very modest contest, though she may be better on good ground. Leeswood Lily could place again while Jenny Ren and No Worries are worth a market check at the bottom of the weights.
