Miss Minuty has the best recent form having completed a double over 1m2f here before finishing fourth over the same distance a fortnight ago. But the drop back in trip is not certain to suit and third-placed Assanilka is weighted to reverse earlier running on today’s terms. Highland Pass had little excuse for a recent poor effort and Lava Light hasn’t raced since 2016 while MISSISSIPPI MISS (NAP) has yet to win a handicap. But the latter found only one too good over course and distance last time and it could be her turn racing off the same mark today.
