In depth

Verdict

MIDGETONAMISSION continued her improvement when beating Dashing To You at Wolverhampton having earlier won at Lingfield with Away Wit Da Fairys behind. She looks worth sticking with given the ease of her latest success. Little Raven also bids for a hat-trick having landed a double over a mile on Tapeta though isn’t guaranteed to stay this far and the less exposed Cicely is preferred on last month’s victory at Wolverhampton. Tsubaki has yet to threaten but makes her handicap debut for a powerful yard.
