      Verdict

      Mojika takes on older horses on her handicap debut having gone close over a mile at York last time. Forever A Lady is upped in class off a higher mark after scoring at Thirsk while Bell Heather’s earlier success at the track came over 1m2f. Haydock winner Miss Sheridan failed to cope with a 5lb rise on her latest start and Groupie continues to struggle. BUSH BEAUTY never figured over a furlong further last time but an apprentice’s claim allows her to effectively race off a lower mark than when scoring over track and trip last month and Eric Alston’s mare should go close again.
