Verdict

Miniskirt has no easy task racing from out of the weights and carrying a penalty after spread-eagling the field at Southwell last time. She will find MAGGIE PINK tougher to beat given the latter separated a couple of much higher rated rivals when runner-up in a conditions event over track and trip last month and Mike Appleby's mare gets the nod to go one better. Bint Dandy is preferred to Yojojo in this grade but Refuse Colette remains 7lb higher than when last winning and Lady Heidi was tailed off on her only start of last year.
