This looks tricky given Air Force Amy, rated 76, has seemingly strong claims on last year’s placed efforts at around a mile but is not guaranteed to stay this far and hasn’t raced since September. MI MANCHI also steps up in trip but was doing her best work in the closing stages over 1m2f at Wolverhampton on last month’s debut and she gets a tentative vote on that evidence. Break The Rules and Winter Snowdrop showed little on their respective debuts and are hard to recommend.
