In depth
Verdict
Mid Winster has been thereabouts over the minimum trip without winning but both Noorban and Ballintoy Harbour have scored over 5f this year. Shepherds Way is another with winning form over 5f while Gale Force Maya won over 7f at Doncaster earlier and reverts to handicapping having struggled in Listed company last time. But MEJTHAAM scored over today’s distance at Wolverhampton to open her account and with more to come on her handicap debut, Charlie Hills’ filly gets the nod.
