Verdict
Both Mad About Sally and Walk In My Shoes are seeking to follow up victories last time but this does look quite competitive and they have 7lb and 5lb respectively more to carry. SPITFIRE GIRL finished ahead of the former and also Talk Of The Moon, Noplacetobe and Hay There Mona at Uttoxeter a month ago and there is no reason why any of that quartet should turn the tables on Jamie Snowden’s mare. Shesupincourt is closely matched with Walk In My Shoes on the form book but it’s difficult to make a case for many of the others.
