Verdict
Don't Tell Dandy is 2lb out of the handicap but has improved with every run and wasn't stopping over the minimum at Hamilton. PRAIRIE SPY made a winning start over this trip at Thirsk before just getting up over an extended 5f in what looked a strong maiden at Bath. She hasn't been done any real favours by the assessor but looks progressive and can complete a hat-trick. Essenza looked as though she may need a bit further than this when staying on at Pontefract but Islay Mist led for a long way when tackling 7f at Wetherby, her best run to date. Lady Katy's best run came on Fibresand at Southwell on her debut while Bandola is held by the selection on their run at Thirsk.
