In depth
Verdict
Miss Sassypants beat Dorkas by three lengths in a similar contest at Stratford last month but there may not be much between the pair on today's revised terms. Fountain Blossom has a decent pedigree and could be one to note but OVILIA represents a yards with a tremendous record in bumpers and can make a winning debut. She's a half-sister to the stable's useful hurdler/chaser Any Given Day, who also won three times on the Flat, so shouldn't be short of pace.
