Verdict
LITTLE PIPPIN won in heavy going last season and went close over a slightly shorter trip here a week ago. She is taken to confirm latest running with Big Red, Rioja Day, New Abbey Angel and Indian Giver and go one better. Amy Blair finally came good when returning a 50/1 winner here last month and is upped 5lb while Paddy's Rock will appreciate the return to testing ground but has not won since 2014. Black Agnes is the least exposed and wasn’t beaten that far when only seventh on her handicap bow at Ayr.
