Verdict
This is likely to be all about MRS GRIMLEY, who is probably entitled to be a short price based on placed efforts at Newbury and Southwell. Manimole finished third here in October but didn’t confirm that form with Kym Eyre subsequently at Lingfield and Masked Matgil beat only one home well a well-backed favourite at Bangor. Helenn Clermont makes her debut under Rules following a lengthy absence.
