Verdict

Oh Michelle has been second in two of her three runs and contested a Listed race in between. She probably sets the standard but it would be no surprise if she found one too good again. Ludlow third Oscar's Song might appreciate this more galloping track and Our Belle Amie is a likely improver, though finished behind Midnight Charm at Hereford. Emma Lavelle has a terrific strike rate here with her bumper horses and won this two years ago. MAJESTIC MOLL, a half-sister to a winning hurdler, looks the stable selection today ahead of Swatow and can make a winning debut as Ilovemints couldn’t cope with a penalty at Aintree in October. Floral Bouquet is another newcomer to note.
