Verdict

This looks to be a decent opportunity for Fresh Mint and she can repel the challenges of Nora Chrissie and Sudden Impulse. Fresh Mint has won three of her four starts on the all-weather since arriving from Ireland and looks poised to make that four from five with her 6lb penalty unlikely to inconvenience her. In fact, she's due to be carrying 3lbs more in future as things stand. Sudden Impulse is also due a rise in the weights but she is still searching for her first all-weather success on her fifteenth start so is difficult to recommend but Irish raider Nora Chrissie has proved her affinity for this surface and should run into the money. As far as the winner goes though, don't look any further than Fresh Mint.
