Verdict
Dixie's Double rallied under pressure when third on her debut over 5f at Chepstow so this extra furlong should suit. But THAMMIN probably deserves another chance eased in grade having shown up well in better races over this trip at Leicester and Ascot. Intimate Art only beat one home at Newbury but is a likely improver and has more scope than Black Bubba and Rita's Man. John T Chance cost 32,000gns and is a half-brother to a 6f juvenile winner so market interest would be significant.
