Verdict
MOLLY OLLYS WISHES was favoured by the weights when landing this 12 months ago and has to give weight to her four rivals this year but she still looks the one to beat having won a Grade 2 over a longer trip at Ascot in January. Martello Sky is also better over further but official ratings suggests she’s the main danger ahead of race-fit pair Nina The Terrier and See The Sea. Island Mahee doesn’t look up to this level.
