Verdict

Only Little Flora is in the handicap proper for this mares only event and clearly has to take the beating especially with a good conditional taking a valuable seven pounds off her back. She has run respectably without setting the world alight of late and goes well at this track. Heathyards Tipple must be respected if returning to the best of last season's form, whilst Ashnaya wasn't disgraced on the level at Newcastle last week and shouldn't be lightly dismissed despite being "wrong" at the weights.
